When they reach the Earth&#8217;s magnetosphere, geomagnetic oscillations occur. If the K-index rises to 7-8, auroras can be observed in some regions. Severe storms can also affect the operation of satellites and communication systems.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1757\" data-end=\"1932\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"> To make it easier to endure a period of increased activity, doctors advise following a sleep schedule, drinking enough water, spending more time outdoors, and avoiding overwork and stress.<\/p>\n<div class=\"full-post__content font-rules\">\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On February 23 and 24, increased solar activity is expected on Earth, which may affect the well-being of weather-sensitive people.
