The Sun is “attacking”: several storms will cover the Earth in the coming days

A wave of solar activity will affect the Earth in the coming days. Scientists are warning that several coronal mass ejections are heading towards our planet at once, which could cause geomagnetic disturbances.

According to The Watchers, on October 13, two powerful plasma jets were recorded on the Sun, which are already heading towards Earth. According to preliminary calculations, they will reach the planet approximately in the middle of the day on October 17, but experts do not exclude that the impact could occur earlier. The reason is the interaction of the new jets with the previous ones, which were formed in the same active region of the Sun.

Space physicist Dr. Tamita Skov reports that there are currently at least four solar storms approaching Earth. In addition, another powerful plasma ejection has been recorded on the eastern edge of the Sun.

The planet’s geomagnetic field has already been affected — it reached the G1 level (weak magnetic storm) on October 13 and has remained unstable ever since.

According to forecasts from the British Geological Survey, the current storm should not be strong, but on October 16–17, the following are possible:

bright auroras — even in regions where they are not usually observed

shortwave communication disruptions, particularly in aviation and maritime communications

unstable operation of navigation systems and satellites

How to protect yourself from the effects of magnetic storms

Although solar storms do not pose a direct danger to healthy people, weather-dependent individuals, as well as those with blood pressure or heart problems, may experience discomfort.

Here are some simple tips:

Maintain calm – avoid stress and excessive physical exertion

Keep hydrated – drink enough fluids

Monitor your blood pressure — especially if you have cardiovascular disease

Get enough sleep – a good night’s sleep helps the body adapt.

Limit caffeine and alcohol — they can increase stress on the nervous system

Take a walk in the fresh air – it helps stabilize your emotional state

When to expect peak activity?

The most likely period of increased geomagnetic influence is October 16 and 17. At this time, it is advisable to pay attention to your well-being, especially for people sensitive to weather changes.
