According to an official notice from the British Geological Survey, the first disturbances are already beginning. A high-speed plasma stream will reach the Earth's atmosphere and is expected to provoke a moderate G1 category storm. The unstable geomagnetic background will persist on August 16. However, specialists expect the most significant impact in the second half of August 17 - at that time, the main volumes of solar material are expected to approach Earth. The intensity of the magnetic storm may increase to G2 level. During noticeable geomagnetic disturbances, people sensitive to weather changes, as well as patients with cardiovascular diseases, are advised to reduce physical and emotional stress. Doctors also recommend maintaining hydration, avoiding alcohol, and not overindulging in caffeine. Particular attention should be paid to rest and sleep. If health worsens, specialists recommend refraining from intense workouts and seeking medical assistance.
