Magnetic storm of red level to hit Earth - Date
announced
Scientists are detecting powerful solar flares, and
experts predict red-level magnetic storms in the coming
days. Such storms can affect human well-being, causing
worsened health conditions, and disrupting the
operation of electrical equipment. When the magnetic
storm reaches its peak, according to data from the
Meteoagent website.
What is a magnetic storm
Solar flares are powerful bursts of energy emanating
from the Sun. The Sun's magnetic field lines become
stressed and break, resulting in intense eruptions.
Internal reactions within the Sun, such as the ejection
of solar mass and surface flares, release energy away
from the Sun in all directions, including towards
Earth, causing solar or magnetic storms. When these
ejections encounter Earth's magnetosphere, they trigger
geomagnetic activity.
The ejections consist of energy from charged particles
(protons and electrons) moving at very high speeds
through space. When these particles reach Earth, they
interact with the planet's magnetic field and
atmosphere, leading to various effects.
During severe magnetic storms, phenomena like the
auroras, also known as the Northern and Southern
Lights, can be observed. Additionally, these flares can
affect radio communication, and disrupt GPS,
satellites, and power grids.
When a magnetic storm begin
According to data from satellite systems such as NOAA,
TESIS, and various international meteorological
laboratories worldwide, a powerful magnetic storm will
impact Earth on September 21 and 22.
On September 21, it will reach a K-index of 6, and on
September 22, it will reach a K-index of 7. This
corresponds to indicators of a red-level storm.
On September 23, the activity will begin to diminish
but will still be at a K-index of 4, which corresponds
to moderate magnetic storm levels.
On September 22, Earth will experience a severe
magnetic storm (screenshot)
How does a magnetic storm affect humans?
Scientists have conducted numerous studies confirming
the relationship between magnetic storms and human
well-being.
The greatest danger of storms is for astronauts who are
beyond Earth's protective atmosphere. There is a risk
of high levels of radiation exposure, which can
significantly increase the likelihood of cancer.
While scientists do not have a consensus on the impact
of magnetic storms on human well-being, it is on such
days that people more often complain of headaches,
overall deterioration of health, fatigue, reduced
concentration, and psychological issues. Additionally,
during magnetic storms, there is an increase in visits
to healthcare professionals, including cardiologists.
General recommendations from doctors on such days:
Get a full night's sleep - no less than 7-9 hours per
day
Maintain a regular daily routine
Ensure proper nutrition and hydration
Take walks in the fresh air and reduce physical and
emotional stress.
If you experience poor health or exacerbation of
chronic conditions, rest more and consult your doctor
as needed.

We're soon bound to see new levels of geopathic geophysical mayhem madness from this.

Not sure where they're getting their data from. k-index
of 7 is only a G3 (orange) storm.
