In short
  • A minor geomagnetic storm is being observed now.
  • The disturbance is expected to stay active through the current forecast window.
  • Mild effects such as fatigue, head pressure, and sleep disruption are possible.
  • Conditions should ease by 2026-07-02, when calmer weather is forecast.

Current situation

A geomagnetic storm is underway now, with the magnetic field at a G1 level and the current k index at 4. This is a minor storm, but it is strong enough to be noticed by some weather-sensitive people, especially if they are prone to headaches, fatigue, or changes in sleep quality.

What may be felt

During a minor storm, symptoms are usually mild rather than severe. Some people may feel a heavier head, lower energy, slight irritability, or a less restful night. These effects do not happen to everyone, but they are more likely while geomagnetic activity remains elevated.

Forecast for the next days

According to the 3 day Kp forecast from NOAA SWPC, the peak remains at Kp 5 today, 2026-06-30, and again on 2026-07-01. That means the storm is likely to stay at minor storm strength through tomorrow before easing.

On 2026-07-02, the peak forecast drops to Kp 4, which is below storm level. That points to a calmer period and a better chance for recovery, with symptoms becoming less noticeable for most sensitive people.

Practical advice

It is sensible to stay attentive to well being over the next day, especially if there is a history of blood pressure swings, headaches, or poor sleep during space weather events. A moderate pace, enough rest, and fewer unnecessary stressors are usually the most helpful measures.
