After a short pause, a red-level magnetic storm will hit the Earth again - a solar storm with a K-index of 5 is expected from May 5 to 7.
This is stated in the Meteoagent application, which tracks solar activity and its impact on the Earth.
Almost every day for the past two months, our planet has been affected by increased activity on the Sun - the Earth has been attacked by magnetic storms with K-indexes of 7, 6 or 5, which are high, as well as slightly weaker magnetic storms - with a K-index of 4. Recently, the influx has weakened, but experts predict a new prolonged magnetic storm that will attack us from May 5 to 7.
It is worth noting that all scientists' forecasts are preliminary, since solar activity is very variable and the situation can change even several times a day.
Magnetic storms affect a person's well-being and vital activities. Weather-dependent people, pregnant women, the elderly, and those with chronic diseases may experience a deterioration in well-being. Often, during magnetic storms, headaches, dizziness, nausea, joint pain, fatigue, and insomnia occur.
During strong magnetic storms, from K-index 4 and above, many people on the planet may experience a deterioration in well-being.
How to protect yourself during magnetic storms
During periods of disturbance of the Earth's magnetic field, doctors recommend limiting yourself in consuming harmful foods, especially excessively fried, spicy, salty or sweet. Experts also recommend giving up coffee, alcohol, energy drinks. Instead, it is better to consume more fruits, vegetables, greens and fish. It is also important to ensure sufficient consumption of plain water - at least 1.5 liters per day.
If your health condition worsens significantly, you should definitely seek help from doctors.
