In short
  • Conditions are calm now, with current kIndex at 1.
  • A minor G1 storm is expected in the forecast window, with peak activity near kIndex 5.
  • The strongest period is most likely on 2026-06-29 and may continue into 2026-06-30.
  • Today should stay relatively quiet, with the field more settled before the stronger phase arrives.

Current situation

Earth’s magnetic field is calm at the moment, and no storm is in progress now. This is a quiet phase, so most weather-sensitive people are more likely to feel stable conditions rather than clear space-weather effects.

What is expected next

According to the current forecast, a minor geomagnetic storm is likely in the coming days, reaching a peak around kIndex 5. The storm class is G1, which is usually considered a mild event, but it can still be noticeable for some people who are sensitive to changes in the magnetic field.

The 3-day outlook suggests a gradual build-up: 2026-06-28 looks quiet with Kp 4 and no storm level, while 2026-06-29 and 2026-06-30 are both expected to reach Kp 5, which corresponds to a minor storm. That means the more noticeable period is likely to begin tomorrow UTC and may persist into the following day.

What sensitive people may notice

With a G1 storm, the effects are usually mild rather than severe. Some people may report a headache, a feeling of heaviness, tiredness, or slightly worse sleep. For many others, the storm may pass with little or no noticeable impact.

Simple preparation for the coming days

There is no reason for alarm, but a little planning may make the upcoming storm easier to ride out. A calm schedule, enough rest, and basic self-care are usually sufficient during a minor event like this.
