    A real magnetic storm will hit the Earth on Monday, September 16. The reason was a strong solar flare on September 14. This was warned by the specialists of the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of ICI and ISEF.

    It is predicted that the storm will start closer to noon. At the same time, G3 level shocks are expected, which means a "strong storm". It will last all evening and all night.

    On Tuesday, September 17, the magnetic storm will decrease to the G2 level corresponding to the "medium storm". The disturbances will continue in the morning and will subside only after lunch.

    Astronomers expect the next storm only in the last days of September. So, according to forecasts, the storm will be on the 26th and 27th. However, the storm is expected to be weak - G1 level, and on September 28 it will completely disappear.

    Recall that magnetic storms are hard for weather-dependent people and people with cardiovascular diseases. Doctors recommend measuring blood pressure and heart rate, and adjusting the dose of medications. It is also important to exclude fatty and high-carbohydrate foods from the diet, as they make the blood thicker and increase cholesterol. It is necessary to give up smoking and alcohol, drink a lot of water, and refrain from physical exertion.
