Increasing solar activity: a powerful magnetic storm is expected on April 4

A powerful magnetic storm is expected on Saturday, April 4. The level of solar activity reached a K-index of 5.7, which corresponds to the red stage of a geomagnetic disturbance.

These data are confirmed by information from Meteoagent and the British Geological Survey.

The speed of the solar wind remains at a high level. This is due to the long-term effects of coronal holes observed on the Sun.

Experts believe that active geomagnetic conditions are possible, as well as the possibility of additional periods of G1 or G2 storms.

Forecasts may change by the end of the day, as researchers update information every three hours.

To reduce the impact of magnetic storms, it is recommended to follow the following recommendations:

drink more water, herbal or green tea;
limit the use of coffee and alcohol;
choose light meals, fresh vegetables and greens;
devote more time to walks in the fresh air;
follow a regular sleep schedule;
try to avoid stressful situations.
A coronal mass ejection occurred the other day, but its impact was insignificant, causing only minor geomagnetic fluctuations. However, increasing solar wind speed may lead to G1/G2 storm activity. Some, especially people with increased sensitivity to the weather, may experience subtle changes in well-being even during weak magnetic field activity.
