Magnetic storms are covering the Earth.

      From June 4 to 6, the Earth experienced a series of magnetic storms. The first episode occurred on June 4 around 7 AM Moscow time — a plasma ejection from the Sun reached our planet. According to the solar astronomy laboratory (IKI and ISZF RAS), the plasma speed turned out to be twice lower than predicted: more than 1000 km/s was expected, but only about 500 km/s arrived. Therefore, a powerful storm did not occur, and the magnetosphere remained almost undisturbed.

      However, on June 6, it hit hard. The forecasts came true: the storm's strength jumped to nearly 6 points — this is an average level of G2.

      Now the main question is — what will happen on June 7 and 8?

      According to official data, by June 7, the geomagnetic situation should normalize. The probability of a calm magnetosphere is 63%, an excited one is 30%, and the chance of a storm is minimal. The level of disturbances will be 2–3.5 points, which is slightly above normal, but overall calm. The Ap index = 10, F10.7 = 140.

      On June 8, activity will begin to subside — about 2.5 points is expected. So there will be no direct "hit" on June 7 and 8.

      But it’s too early to relax. A new storm is already forecasted for June 11, reaching up to 6 points (red level), and on June 12 — up to 5 points. And on June 13 — an excited magnetosphere (4 points, orange). After the 13th — stabilization. However, precise forecasts work for a maximum of two days, so the scenario may change, reports novostivolgograda.ru.

      To survive the stormy days without losses: sleep 7–8 hours, cut out coffee and alcohol, drink water, and don’t overexert yourself. For those with fluctuating blood pressure or headaches, keep prescribed medications on hand. Don’t tolerate headaches — take paracetamol, ibuprofen, or a spasmolytic. And most importantly: during disturbance days, the nervous system is especially vulnerable, so avoid conflicts and maintain calm.
