A forecast for magnetic storms on April 13–14 has been released

A gradual increase in geomagnetic activity is expected in Ukraine in the coming days, which may affect the well-being of weather-sensitive individuals.

According to data from NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), the level of disturbance in Earth’s magnetosphere will range from low to moderate.

On Monday, April 13, solar activity will remain at a K-index of 3. 

This corresponds to a green alert level, indicating weak magnetic storms that typically go unnoticed by most of the population and do not affect the operation of technical devices.

However, by Tuesday, April 14, the situation will change somewhat—the K-index will rise to 4.

This level corresponds to the yellow alert and is classified as a moderate magnetic storm, which may cause mild discomfort in weather-sensitive individuals.

Magnetic storms occur due to regular solar flares, which eject a significant amount of charged particles into space. 

When these streams reach our planet’s magnetic field, they cause fluctuations that scientists measure on a scale from 0 to 9.

Since magnetic storms directly affect atmospheric pressure, people often complain of headaches, increased fatigue, and stress. 

Experts note that there are no specific medications to counteract the effects of space weather, but symptoms can be alleviated.

To minimize the negative impact on the body, it is recommended to strictly adhere to a daily routine and get enough sleep. 

It is important to avoid alcohol, fatty, and spicy foods, as well as significantly limit coffee intake, replacing it with plain water or herbal teas.

Walking outdoors and moderate physical activity will help maintain vascular tone and improve overall well-being. 

In the morning, a contrast shower will be beneficial, helping the body adapt to environmental changes, and in the evening, a relaxing bath to relieve tension.

Magnetic storm forecast for April 9–10 released

Several periods dangerous for weather-sensitive people are expected in April 2026.

Magnetic storms can affect atmospheric pressure, causing some people to experience headaches, fatigue, and a decline in well-being.
