Magnetic storm on September 30: impact on well-being and who will feel the changes

A minor magnetic storm is forecast for September 30. According to the British Geological Survey, its strength will reach the G1 level, which is considered weak. However, even such a storm can negatively affect well-being, especially for people sensitive to changes in the geomagnetic background.

Scientists point to the increased speed of the solar wind, which is caused by the weak influence of the coronal hole. During the day, periods of activity in the magnetosphere are possible, as well as short-term storms of the first level on the G scale.

As early as October 1, a decrease in the influence of the coronal hole and stabilization of the geomagnetic background are expected, which should lead to a calmer state in the coming days.

Methods of protection during magnetic storms

During magnetic storms, it is essential to adhere to a sleep regimen – go to bed and wake up at the same time. This will help the body adapt to the loads more easily.

It is recommended to drink enough clean water and choose light meals, such as vegetables, fruits, and cereals, while avoiding fatty foods and overeating. It is also advisable to reduce the consumption of coffee and alcohol, as they put an additional burden on the cardiovascular and nervous systems.

Moderate physical activity, such as walking in the fresh air, helps reduce stress levels and improve blood circulation. It is recommended to avoid severe stress and excessive physical exertion.

People suffering from chronic diseases should consult a doctor in advance and prepare the necessary medications to avoid possible complications.
