Strong magnetic storms in June: risky days identified

In June 2025, several magnetic storms are expected, including both moderate and strong ones, which may impact the well-being of sensitive individuals. Possible symptoms include headaches, fatigue, emotional instability, and fluctuations in blood pressure.

The first two days of June are expected to be the most active due to a coronal mass ejection from the Sun, which will result in powerful geomagnetic storms of G3-G5 levels. Such activity can affect not only well-being but also the operation of equipment, in particular GPS and mobile communications.

Here is the forecast for June:

June 5–7 – G2 level storm (red level);
June 9 – G1 storm;
June 12–14 – G3 geo storm;
June 16–18 – G1-G2 storm;
June 21–22 – G2 storm;
June 26 – G1 storm.
Experts note that solar activity can change rapidly, making it essential to monitor forecasts closely.

A magnetic storm is a disturbance in the Earth’s magnetic field caused by a stream of charged particles from the Sun. It can affect technical systems, communications, and human health. There are five levels of storms:

G1 – weak, almost imperceptible;
G2 – moderate, can cause minor discomfort;
G3 – strong, affecting well-being and communications;
G4–G5 – rare and powerful storms with serious consequences.
Health effects

During geomagnetic storms, people may experience:

headaches and migraines;
fatigue, general weakness, insomnia;
irritability, anxiety, depressive states;
pressure fluctuations, heart rhythm disturbances;
exacerbation of chronic diseases.
Older adults, pregnant women, children, and people with cardiovascular diseases or high blood pressure are susceptible to these phenomena.

Recommendations for reducing exposure

Doctors advise:

to adhere to a sleep regimen – go to bed by 11:00 PM, sleep for at least 7 hours;
to eliminate stress and reduce emotional stress;
to limit physical activity – light exercises or walks are recommended;
to refrain from junk food, alcohol, and energy drinks;
to drink more water and ventilate the room;
to reduce the use of gadgets before bedtime;
to carefully monitor your well-being and, if necessary, take medications.
If symptoms worsen, you should consult a doctor.
