In a matter of days, Earth will again be hit by a powerful magnetic storm. This time, it is expected to be significant. When the magnetic storm will occur and what to prepare for are discussed in Meteoagent and Wikipedia sources.
When the powerful magnetic storm will occur
It is expected that the storm will hit Earth on April 14th and 15th. On the first day, it will be so severe that scientists have classified it as a red-level event.
However, by April 15th, the storm will be less intense. And after that, it will completely subside.

What are magnetic storms and how to prepare for them
Magnetic storms occur due to plasma eruptions from the Sun's surface. These eruptions, known as coronal mass ejections, travel through interstellar space and can reach Earth, interacting with its magnetosphere.
What magnetic storms can cause:
- headaches and dizziness
- weakness and fatigue
- decreased productivity
- irritability and sleep disturbances
- muscle and joint pain
- changes in appetite
- high or low blood pressure
- aggravation of chronic illnesses
How to prepare for magnetic storms:
- stick to a daily routine and get enough sleep
- consume healthy food and drink plenty of water
- reduce physical and emotional stress
- take medications prescribed by your doctor
- avoid alcohol and caffeine
- don't forget about walks.
People who need to be especially vigilant during storms include: pregnant women, children, the elderly, and patients with chronic illnesses.
