Geomagnetic storms 19 January 2026

On January 19, 2026, the geomagnetic activity, indicated by a kIndex of 3, reflects a quiet level of magnetic disturbances in the Earth's magnetosphere. This moderate state suggests minimal disruption to the geomagnetic field, meaning that the effects on technological systems and natural phenomena are likely negligible. It typically indicates low levels of solar wind impact and reduced auroral activity, which can be important for those monitoring space weather. For weather-sensitive individuals, a kIndex of 3 is generally not associated with significant health concerns. However, some people with sensitivities to electromagnetic changes may experience mild symptoms, such as slight fatigue, decreased concentration, or minor mood fluctuations. These effects are often more psychological, influenced by an individual’s awareness of geomagnetic variations, rather than resulting from any direct physiological impact. Overall, at this kIndex level, individuals are unlikely to experience considerable disruptions to their daily lives or wellbeing.
