    A very strong magnetic storm will hit the Earth on October 10 and 11. At the same time, it will continue over the weekend, but with less intensity. According to meteorologists, this storm has every chance of becoming the strongest and longest in 2024.

    "The expected magnetic storm may compete for the title of the strongest and longest storm of this year with the events that occurred on May 10-12," said Mikhail Leus, a leading specialist at the Phobos Weather Center.

    According to him, a large plasma release occurred on the Sun on October 9. This ejection flies to Earth at a speed of about 1000 km/s. On Thursday, October 10, magnetic storms are expected to be very strong, peaking at G4 class or even higher.

    By the end of Friday, October 11, their intensity will range from medium to very strong, G2 - G4. Magnetic storms will descend to classes G1 - 2G on Saturday, October 12, and only on Sunday, October 13, the disturbances of the geomagnetic field will weaken and stop.

    Meanwhile, Oksana Pivovarova, a professor at the Department of Therapy at the Medical Faculty of the State University of Education, a therapist, said that in the fight against weather dependence, it is important to restore mental balance and not worry for no reason. In addition, it is important to follow a number of rules that can be useful under any circumstances. Among them is the rejection of bad habits.
