Magnetic Storms on July 15–16: Solar Activity Forecast
Changes in solar activity are expected on Earth in the coming days, which may cause magnetic fluctuations. Experts note that during such periods, some people may experience a decline in well-being, such as fatigue or headaches.
Geomagnetic activity is measured on a scale from 0 to 9. The planetary K-index is used to indicate this; a reading of 5 or higher indicates a strong magnetic storm.
On Wednesday, July 15, solar activity with a K-index of 3.7 (green level) is expected, which corresponds to weak magnetic storms.
On Thursday, July 16, solar activity with a K-index of 2.3 (green level) is expected, which corresponds to weak magnetic storms.
It is important to note that magnetic storm forecasts are subject to change, as solar activity researchers update their data every three hours.
