Instable space: Novosibirsk will cover a magnetic storm on September 25

The current oscillations of the Earth’s magnetosphere, scientists call the “excited state”, linking it with the influence of a giant coronal hole that stretched out on the Sun from the south pole to the equator. The spike in activity is also amplified by the seasonal "equinox effect," when due to the planets' mutual arrangement, Earth's natural magnetic defenses temporarily weaken.

The main peak of magnetospheric oscillations will occur in the first half of the day on September 25. The planetary Kp index can briefly rise to 4-5 points, which corresponds to the level of a weak magnetic storm of G1 class.

Experts note that the current surge will be the final geomagnetic chord of September, and by Saturday, September 26, the space situation will begin to stabilize. However, during Friday, doctors strongly recommend Novosibirsk, sensitive to changes in space weather, to adhere to a gentle daily routine. To minimize the load on the body, it is necessary to abandon excessive physical work, reduce the consumption of strong coffee and alcohol, drink more clean water and be sure to keep the usual medications on hand.

Earlier, MK in Novosibirsk reported that weather forecasters sharply worsened the weather forecast for October-November.
