A G1-level magnetic storm could hit the Earth in early autumn. According to the British Geological Survey, active and short-term periods of magnetic field disturbance are forecast for September 1.
Experts explain that the storm is caused by the influence of a coronal hole located in the center of the solar disk. It emits streams of high-speed solar plasma that reach the Earth's atmosphere and disrupt its magnetic field.
Complicating matters is the presence of several active regions on the Sun. If a coronal mass ejection occurs, it could combine with the flow from the coronal hole and make the storm even more powerful.
Magnetic storms are especially noticeable for weather-dependent people. They can provoke headaches, fatigue, pressure drops, and sleep problems.
Doctors advise avoiding overwork, heavy physical exertion, and stressful situations on such days. It is important to stick to a daily routine, go to bed at the same time, and give your body enough rest.
