In the first month of spring, several dates of geomagnetic storms of different power are predicted.
Workers in the laboratories of the sun are constantly observing our star. They warn people about dangerous phenomena. When increased activity is recorded on the Sun, storms that are dangerous for humans can occur on Earth. We told you when magnetic storms are expected in March 2024, and how to protect yourself from their impact, writes "UNIAN".
What is a magnetic storm
Magnetic storms are perturbations of the Earth's magnetic field caused by flares on the Sun. Such fluctuations can adversely affect the operation of communication systems, as well as human health. Even a small increase in activity can affect health.
When magnetic storms are expected in March
A total of 10 dangerous days are expected during the month. The first geomagnetic storm in March will last on the 3rd-4th and will be weak in power. Then a strong magnetic storm is predicted on March 9-10. The next increased solar activity should be expected on March 15-16. A one-day weak magnetic storm will be on March 22. The last storm in March is predicted on March 26-28 - the activity of the Sun on the first day will be weak, and then intensify.
It is important to note that the forecast of storms for such a long period is inaccurate and may change over time.
Health effects of magnetic storms
Scientists have not come to a consensus on how magnetic storms affect humans. Studies have found a deterioration in well-being due to such storms in pilots, airplane passengers and astronauts, that is, people who are at high altitudes. On the other hand, weather-sensitive people often complain of feeling unwell on storm days.
What are the symptoms of a person during magnetic storms?
Magnetic storms affect weather-sensitive, elderly, chronically ill people and pregnant women the most. The symptoms of a magnetic storm can be very diverse, but the most common are the following:
Headache;
dizziness;
nausea and vomiting;
pain in joints and muscles;
high temperature;
high blood pressure;
insomnia.
Serious malaise on such days is rare. For most people, storms pass without serious health consequences.
How to protect yourself from magnetic storms
To prevent magnetic storms from harming your health, follow the rules of a healthy lifestyle on dangerous days:
Drink more water - at least 1.5 liters of fluid per day.
Spend more time outdoors and ventilate the room regularly.
Eat less fried, fatty, spicy and salty foods, but more vegetables, greens, fish, nuts.
Reduce the consumption of coffee, alcohol, energy drinks, try to smoke fewer cigarettes.
Exercise.
Try to be less nervous, eliminate sources of stress from your life, and do not get involved in conflicts.
If your health has deteriorated greatly, then be sure to consult a doctor. Symptoms of other diseases can be mistaken for signs of a magnetic storm.
