The magnitude of geomagnetic storms is determined by the five-level classification G1-G5, where G1-G2 are the weakest storms that do not significantly impact the planet and human health, and G4-G5 are the strongest storms. The high voltage generated during these storms can interfere with radio signals, GPS, and other devices.
Furthermore, geomagnetic activity is characterized by the K-index, which is an average value ranging from 0 to 9 points.
During these days, you may experience a deterioration in general health, stress, fluctuations in blood pressure, and headaches.
Impact of magnetic storms on health
Doctors note that weather-sensitive individuals may experience discomfort a few days before a magnetic storm. It's also observed that magnetic storms have a more pronounced impact on people with cardiovascular diseases, high or low blood pressure, mental disorders, and vegetative-vascular dystonia.
Elderly individuals, pregnant women, and those with chronic pathologies should monitor the period of magnetic storms and follow general recommendations.
