August 13: Earth's magnetosphere is stimulated: how to avoid worsening health.

Magnetic storms in Ukraine on August 13

On Wednesday, August 13, Earth's magnetosphere will be in a stimulated state, but significant magnetic storms are not expected. Solar activity has remained at a moderate level over the past day. The Sun recorded 15 C-class flares and five M-class flares, the largest of which reached a power of M1.8. M-class flares are considered medium strength. An event of this level may cause minor radio disruptions on the daylight side of the planet and create a risk of solar radiation storms. It is expected that on August 13, the geomagnetic field will fluctuate from quiet to active levels. Solar activity will remain moderate with a slight chance of X-class flares.

How magnetic storms affect health and what to do

Experts remind that magnetic storms and the excitation of the geomagnetic field may affect well-being, especially in people with cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, and chronic ailments. If dizziness, weakness, or palpitations occur, one should immediately sit or lie down. It is also important to drink enough water, as dehydration can worsen symptoms. If possible, avoid physical overloads and stressful situations and monitor blood pressure, especially for those with hypertension.
