Severe magnetic storms in January 2024: Anticipating impact timing

Magnetic storms in January

Solar geomagnetic activity affects people in different ways. For some, it causes depressed mood or migraines, while for others it exacerbates chronic diseases.

Magnetic storms in January 2024 can be observed on January 1-2, 7, 9, 14, 21, and 27.

How does a magnetic storm affect people?

Many studies confirm the relationship between magnetic storms and human health.

People often complain of the following symptoms:

• Headache
• Dizziness
• Migraine
• Fog in the head
• Drowsiness during the day
• Loss of concentration and attention
• Problems with sleeping at night
• General weakness
• Fatigue and tiredness
• Increased anxiety

On such days, people are more likely to seek medical help, especially from cardiologists.

But magnetic storms pose the greatest danger to astronauts who are outside the protective shield of the Earth's atmosphere. They have the opportunity to be exposed to high levels of radiation, which significantly increases the risk of cancer.
