A magnetic storm is a temporary but significant disturbance in the Earth’s magnetic field caused by emissions of solar wind. These emissions, consisting of charged particles, can affect the Earth’s magnetosphere, deforming it and causing vibrations.
October 2024 promises to be a month with moderate geomagnetic activity. Several periods of increased solar activity are expected, capable of causing magnetic storms of 5 points and higher on the K-index scale.
Magnetic storms are temporary disturbances in the Earth’s geomagnetic field caused by bursts of solar activity. They affect the operation of electronic devices, navigation systems, and the well-being of people, especially those sensitive to weather.
Magnetic storms, caused by solar flares and other solar events, have often been blamed for a range of health issues like headaches, fatigue, and anxiety.
Magnetic storms and their impact on human health remain a subject of debate and research. Although there is currently no definitive evidence that magnetic storms can significantly affect health, this phenomenon continues to arouse interest among both scientists and people who are confident in their weather dependence.
The Earth’s magnetosphere is an invisible shield that protects our planet from charged particles of the solar wind. However, this shield is not static. It is constantly exposed to solar activity, cosmic rays and other factors, which leads to various changes in its structure and behavior.
