Magnetic Storms on July 23–24 and the Solar Activity Forecast
Experts have released a forecast for solar activity on July 23–24. Magnetic storms are possible on these days, which may affect atmospheric pressure and the well-being of weather-sensitive people, causing headaches, fatigue, and increased stress levels.
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 Thursday, July 23, solar activity with a K-index of 4 (yellow level) is expected, which corresponds to moderate magnetic storms.
On Friday, July 24, solar activity with a K-index of 3.7 (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.

As a reminder, several periods of solar activity are expected in July 2026, which may affect the well-being of weather-sensitive individuals and the operation of electronic devices.
