The sunspot that last week caused the most powerful flare in years is active again. It exploded with renewed vigor, and two days later scientists recorded two flashes marked with an X.
Space writes about this.
Bursts of energetic particles typically take several days to reach Earth and interact with our magnetic field. Since the ejecta was recorded 2 days ago, the EME is expected to pass by our planet within 48 hours. That is, the magnetic storm will probably reach Earth on Thursday and Friday night.
It should be added that, according to Meteoagent, a powerful magnetic storm with a K 8 index will cover the Earth in Thursday October 10. It will also maintain its strength in Friday, October 11. IN Saturday October 12 This storm will begin to weaken and a K Index level of 5 is expected.
Please note that all storms caused by solar flares are classified by power level, from K index 2 to K index 9. The higher the K index, the stronger their consequences. All storms above the K 5 index are red level storms. They can cause problems with satellite, GPRS, mobile or radio communications.
Most often, on such days, people complain of deteriorating health, headaches, problems with concentration and lack of sleep.
People with chronic illnesses and weakened immune systems are at risk.
To minimize the negative effects of the storm, follow the rules of a healthy lifestyle. On those days it is advisable to avoid stress and intense efforts. It is important to eat less fatty, fried, salty and spicy foods. Instead, eat more vegetables and fruits, doctors advise.
Give up coffee, cigarettes and alcohol. Drink more fluids: plain water or herbal teas.
Ventilate the room regularly and try to walk outside for at least a while. If possible, go to bed at the same time of day and make sure you get enough sleep.
Previously, “Cursor” reported, Why sleeping too much is dangerous for your health?. British scientists from Keele University conducted research and discovered the consequences of sleeping more than normal, that is, more than 8 hours.
