Scientists from the Solar Astronomy Laboratory have forecast a G1 and nearly G2 magnetic storm for the night and morning of September 10. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
By 6 a.m. Thursday, space weather will stabilize, and the magnetic field will become calm again until September 12.
Onset of the storm
As experts noted on September 8, when the first autumn magnetic storm began, it had been predicted earlier due to the expected arrival of a plasma cloud ejected by the Sun in early September. Plasma from the Sun reached Earth, causing prolonged geomagnetic disturbances that, as of now, continue through this night.
Public health concerns
Earlier, Kursiv reported that Kazakhstanis complained of malaise due to the magnetic storm. People noted fatigue, sleep problems, and general weakness.
Doctors' advice
On such days, doctors advise taking care of your health, drinking more water, reducing workloads, and avoiding stress.
Additionally, it is important to maintain a sleep and rest schedule, and if serious symptoms appear (such as severe shortness of breath or chest pain), seek medical attention immediately.
Additional information
Magnetic storms are caused by the interaction of Earth's magnetic field with solar wind particles. They can affect communication systems, energy infrastructure, and human health. Scientists try to forecast such events in advance, but accuracy is limited.
For Kazakhstanis, magnetic storms can be particularly noticeable for weather-sensitive individuals. It is important to follow doctors' recommendations and monitor your health.
Conclusion
The effects of the magnetic storm will last until 6 a.m., after which the geomagnetic background will normalize. During this time, people are advised to be cautious and attentive to their health.
