Today, March 26, a medium-intensity magnetic storm is expected on Earth, which will reach 6 points in KP-Index. Experts warn that it can affect the well -being of weather dependent people, as well as those who have chronic diseases.
According to MeteoAgen, during March, geomagnetic activity was mostly weak, but today the situation would worsen, which can cause malaise, headache, fatigue and irritability.
Who should be careful?
The effects of a magnetic storm may feel:
-
Mete -dependent people - headaches, mood swings, weakness can occur.

What is a magnetic storm and how does it affect the earth?
Magnetic storms occur through solar outbreaks that cause powerful energy emissions that interact with the Earth's magnetosphere. This can cause both health problems and technical failures and mains.
Geomagnetic activity is estimated by KP-Index:
-
0-3-lack of activity
-
4-5-a weak storm
-
6-7 is a moderate storm
-
8-9 is a strong storm
Today's storm has 6 points, which is considered medium intensity, but it can feel sensitive people.
According to experts, a series of geomagnetic bursts is expected in April, especially in the second half of the month. The most powerful magnetic storms are predicted on April 12, 25 and 26.
Therefore, you should prepare in advance: follow the forecasts and follow the recommendations to minimize the effect of geomagnetic activity on the body.
