A strong magnetic storm covered Ukraine

On July 23, a powerful magnetic storm was observed in Ukraine. An increase in solar activity was noted, reaching the K-index level of 6.

According to Meteoagent, solar activity increased after a several-day decline, which led to a transition beyond the safe green and yellow levels.

Geomagnetism records indicate that the speed of the solar wind remains at a normal level. However, from July 22 to 23, a powerful wind from the coronal hole is expected to arrive, which caused an increase in geomagnetic activity, which is currently classified as G1.

Such magnetic disturbances can affect the well-being of many people. Weather-dependent individuals, pregnant women, as well as those suffering from chronic diseases or being under stress are especially vulnerable. Common symptoms include headache, dizziness, weakness, high blood pressure, nausea, fatigue, and drowsiness.

To reduce the impact of the storm, it is recommended to follow a few simple rules:

ensure yourself with proper rest and sleep;
avoid emotional stress;
limit your consumption of coffee, energy drinks and alcohol;
spend more time outdoors, especially in the evening;
do not overload your body with heavy food.

Experts advise to carefully monitor your health during this period, as a geomagnetic storm can also affect the operation of electronic systems, including communications.
