Magnetic storms can cause a deterioration in well-being for many people and also affect the operation of equipment. However, according to scientists' forecasts, no serious fluctuations in the geomagnetic field are expected in the coming days, so weather-sensitive people can feel more at ease. What is the forecast for magnetic storms on August 29, 30, and 31? Is it worth worrying, and how can we reduce the impact of solar activity on the body?
Forecast of magnetic storms for August 29-31
According to NOAA SWPC, August 29 is expected to be calm. The activity level will be low; no serious storms are expected.
On August 30 and 31, a G1 storm watch (minimum category) was announced. Such fluctuations usually pose no danger to either technology or people; however, weather-sensitive people may feel fatigue or headaches.
What is a geomagnetic storm?
It is a disturbance of the Earth's magnetic field caused by solar emissions, specifically coronal mass ejections and flares. NOAA classifies them from G1 to G5. G1 is the weakest level, which can affect only sensitive people and sometimes cause minor technical malfunctions.
How to reduce the impact of storms on well-being
Health recommends following the simple rules:
- Get at least 7-9 hours of sleep per day and maintain a regular schedule
- Avoid overexertion and unnecessary stress
- Drink more water and herbal tea
- Reduce the intake of coffee and alcohol
- Take light walks in the fresh air
- Avoid intense physical exertion and stress
- Monitor your health and consult doctors if necessary.
