According to the calculations of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the IKI and the ISSF RAS, during the day the index of geomagnetic activity Kp will be kept at low levels within 1.3-2.5 points, which corresponds to a safe “green zone”. Small fluctuations in the background are possible only in the night and morning hours before 06:00, as well as in the evening after 18:00, but they will remain significantly below the threshold values of the start of the storm. The probability of a magnetic storm on this day, scientists estimate only 3%, the chances of a calm state of the magnetic field reach 87%.

The reason for this lull was the gradual extinction of solar activity. The only major active region on the Sun shifts beyond its western edge and ceases to affect our planet. Even a mid-range M1.7 outbreak recorded the day before did not cause disturbances on Earth.

The absence of geomagnetic impacts will allow residents of Novosibirsk to calmly spend the end of the working week without headaches and pressure surges characteristic of periods of solar storms. At the same time, doctors remind that the health of citizens can be affected by changes in atmospheric pressure and air temperature, so weather-sensitive citizens should still observe a sleep regime and drink more clean water.
