From June 14 to June 15, 2025, Ukraine will cover a powerful geomagnetic wave. According to the NOAA (USA) space weather forecasting center, increased solar activity with K-index to 6 is expected-this is a red level of danger.
The coming weekend can be a real test for weather dependent people, especially those who have chronic or cardiovascular disease.
Magnetic storms forecast:
-
June 14 (Saturday): K-Index 5.7-Storm is still powerful, can cause headaches, irritability, pressure jumps.
-
June 15 (Sunday): Geomagnetic activity will decrease to K-index 4.7, but the situation will not be completely safe.
Scientists warn that the geomagnetic situation changes every hour. The data is updated every three hours, so it is important to monitor official forecasts.
What is a magnetic storm and what is it dangerous
A magnetic storm is a consequence of the influence of charged particles that fall into the magnetosphere of the Earth after solar outbreaks. Its intensity is determined by K-index:
-
0–4 - safe level,
-
5 and above - the beginning of the storm,
-
7-8 is a very powerful storm that can cause polar glows and serious interruptions in satellite systems.
