A powerful red-level magnetic storm is approaching Ukraine. Geomagnetic activity will peak in the coming days.

This is evidenced by data from the meteoagent portal.

In addition, the British Geological Survey is warning of active intervals of geomagnetic activity today and tomorrow due to a coronal hole on the Sun.

A coronal mass ejection occurred on March 16 and is now approaching Earth. In addition, a medium-class M flare occurred on March 17, which will increase geomagnetic activity.

“A significant increase in geomagnetic activity is expected with the possibility of short-term G3 storm periods,” experts report.

How magnetic storms can affect your well-being:

headache and dizziness

nausea

heartache

weakness and drowsiness

back and joint pain

high blood pressure

exacerbation of chronic diseases

People with meteosensitivity are especially sensitive to changes.

How to minimize the negative impact:

normalize your sleep – sleep at least 7–8 hours

drink enough water

limit coffee, alcohol, and junk food

walk more outdoors

avoid stress and physical exertion

people with chronic illnesses should keep their medications on hand

What is G-index?

The intensity of magnetic storms is rated on a scale of G1–G5, with G3 considered a severe storm. The K-index helps experts track geomagnetic activity from 0 to 9.

Experts advise to constantly monitor indicators of solar flares and geomagnetic storms, especially during severe storms.
