On Wednesday, June 5, 2025, the Earth will experience a powerful magnetic storm that could affect the well-being of weather-dependent people. According to the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (USA), this day will be marked by the highest level of geomagnetic activity in a week.
According to the published forecast, on June 5, the K-index will be recorded at level 5 - this is the red level of danger, indicating significant geomagnetic disturbances. The geomagnetic storm is a continuation of the activity that began on June 1, and although its intensity is gradually decreasing, it will still have a noticeable impact on the 5th.
A slight decrease in geomagnetic activity is expected in the coming days – June 6 and 7. The forecast predicts a K-index of 4 (yellow level), indicating moderate magnetic disturbances. However, even these indicators may be felt by people with increased sensitivity to changes in space weather.
Scientific studies suggest a possible link between magnetic storms and worsening symptoms of cardiovascular disease, particularly in the elderly. There is also evidence that geomagnetic activity can affect the level of inflammation in the body, and in combination with air pollution, increase the burden on the lungs.
Doctors advise weather-dependent people to avoid excessive physical exertion on such days, monitor their blood pressure, ensure sufficient water consumption, and, if necessary, consult a doctor.
We remind you that the geomagnetic situation can change every hour. The most accurate picture is given by short-term forecasts for the next 24 hours.
