A strong magnetic storm is occurring on Earth, reports TASS with reference to the Institute of Applied Geophysics (IPG).

“In the second half of the day on November 5, a disturbance in the geomagnetic field was registered,” the message says.

According to IPG space weather monitoring data, the degree of disturbance in the Earth’s magnetic field has reached the level of G3, meaning “strong” on a monitoring scale of five indicators, where G5 is “extremely strong” and G1 is “weak.”

Level G3 means that on Earth there may be problems in power systems, including false alarms in safety systems and boiling of oil transformers.

Interruptions in satellite and low-frequency radio navigation and disruptions in high-frequency radio communications are also likely. In mid-latitudes it is possible to observe auroras.

Previously, scientists have recorded several strong M-class flares on the Sun.

Let us remind you that these days, ailments can manifest themselves in the form of headaches, surges in blood pressure, dizziness, sleep disturbances, irritability, anxiety, fatigue, joint pain, and exacerbation of chronic diseases. You should give up vigorous physical activity, try to monitor your emotional state, and not get nervous. It is also recommended to take a contrast shower, drink more water, and limit your consumption of junk food.
