Mid-May may bring slight changes in solar activity that will affect the Earth's magnetic field. According to the latest space weather monitoring data, mild geomagnetic activity is expected in the coming days, but a weak storm may occur overnight. What impact could this have on our health and well-being?
Wednesday, May 14: Average Solar Activity Day
On Wednesday, activity will decrease slightly, but will remain noticeable - the Kp index will reach 4. Although this is not considered a geomagnetic storm, some people may experience minor symptoms, such as decreased concentration or anxiety. It is recommended to spend more time resting.
Thursday, May 15: The situation is stabilizing
Low geomagnetic activity (Kp index 3) is forecast again for Thursday. This is another calmer day that should not cause any health or technological disruption concerns.
Friday, May 16: no significant changes
Subtle fluctuations in the geomagnetic field are expected on Friday. Experts note that they should not have any significant impact on overall health or mood. This is a good day for important work or more active activities.
Saturday, May 17: Weekend with moderate activity
On Saturday, preliminary data indicates moderate activity (Kp index 4). Although this is not dangerous, it is recommended to take time to relax, especially if you have previously experienced headaches or other symptoms associated with geomagnetic activity.
What is worth knowing about the Kp index?
The Kp index is a numerical scale (from 0 to 9) that measures the level of geomagnetic activity. An index above 5 is considered a geomagnetic storm. Weak storms usually have little impact, but can be felt by people with increased health sensitivity.
Although a weak geomagnetic storm is possible on the night of May 13, the overall forecast for the week is calm. More sensitive people should focus on rest and healthy sleep, but these changes should not cause much concern. This will be one of the milder geomagnetic weeks of the spring.
