A minor magnetic storm is now affecting Earth
A geomagnetic storm is underway, and Earth’s magnetic field is currently disturbed at a minor G1 level. Weather-sensitive people may notice mild headaches, tiredness, sleep changes, or a sense of heaviness.

Can you feel a magnetic storm coming in advance?
Most people cannot consciously sense an approaching geomagnetic storm — what feels like premonition is usually a reaction to ordinary weather plus the mind's tendency to remember coincidences. Real advance notice comes from space-weather forecasts, not the body.

Do magnetic storms happen at night, and how do they affect sleep?
Geomagnetic storms are global and run on Universal Time, so they occur at every hour — night is not special. Research hints that geomagnetic activity may slightly lower overnight melatonin, but any effect on sleep is small, unproven, and dwarfed by everyday factors.

Calm magnetic conditions should continue for the next few days
Earth’s magnetic field remains quiet, and no storm level activity is expected in the near term. Weather sensitive people are likely to have a fairly comfortable stretch, with only small fluctuations possible.

Can a magnetic storm happen during clear, good weather?
Yes. Magnetic storms are space weather driven by the Sun, completely separate from the rain, clouds and pressure of your local weather — so a geomagnetic storm can easily occur on a bright, calm, sunny day.

What are coronal mass ejections (CMEs)?
A coronal mass ejection is a giant cloud of plasma and magnetic field hurled from the Sun's corona. When one reaches Earth, it is the main cause of geomagnetic storms.

What are solar flares and how are they connected to magnetic storms?
A solar flare is a sudden burst of radiation from the Sun that reaches Earth in about 8 minutes and mainly disrupts radio signals. Most magnetic storms, though, are caused by the slower coronal mass ejection that often erupts alongside the flare.

Quiet geomagnetic conditions are expected to continue
Earth’s magnetic field remains calm, and no storm-level activity is expected in the coming days. Weather-sensitive people are likely to have a fairly comfortable period with only minor fluctuations at most.

Earth’s magnetic field stays calm, with quiet days ahead
The geomagnetic field is currently calm, and no storm-level activity is expected. Minor unsettled periods may still appear, but the overall outlook remains reassuring for the next few days.
Read →Why do magnetic storms happen?
Magnetic storms happen when bursts of fast, magnetised solar wind from the Sun — coronal mass ejections or high-speed streams from coronal holes — reach Earth and disturb its protective magnetic field. Here is the full chain of events, in plain language.

Geomagnetic conditions calming and recovery underway
The recent geomagnetic disturbance has passed and the magnetic field is returning to quiet as of 19:49 UTC. NOAA forecasts only minor unsettled activity over the next few days, with no storm-level conditions expected.

How often do magnetic storms happen?
It depends on strength: minor magnetic storms occur many times a month, while extreme storms come only a few times per 11-year solar cycle, peaking around solar maximum.
