Geomagnetic storms 3 October 2024

On Thursday, October 3, 2024, the geomagnetic activity is recorded at a kIndex of 2, indicating a quiet level of geomagnetic activity. This level of activity suggests stable conditions in the Earth's magnetosphere with minimal disturbances caused by solar winds or coronal mass ejections. As such, there are typically few, if any, impacts on radio communications, satellite operations, and power systems. For weather-sensitive individuals, a kIndex of 2 generally means a lower likelihood of experiencing geomagnetically induced health effects. People who are sensitive to atmospheric changes, such as those with certain cardiovascular conditions or migraines, may find that their symptoms are less pronounced during times of lower geomagnetic activity. While the link between geomagnetic conditions and health is still being studied, many weather-sensitive individuals report feeling more at ease and maintaining better overall well-being when geomagnetic activity is low. Thus, a kIndex of 2 is seen as a favorable time for those who are prone to weather-related sensitivities.
