Unsettled conditions ahead
Current kIndex is 2. The window peaks at 4 around noon UTC, then tapers to 3, signaling generally stable conditions with brief fluctuations.

Recommendations for today
Tuned to the current Kp and your profile (sensitivity 7.2/10).
- Move heavy meetings to tomorrow morningThe activity peak is expected from 18:00 to 22:00 — better to rest than to push a deadline.
- Drink more water — at least 2 litresAt elevated Kp, vessels react more strongly. Hydration cuts headache risk by about 30%.
- Sleep from 22:30 to 06:30 is criticalLast G1 episode you slept poorly — the migraine started 14 hours after Kp 5.
- Light exercise instead of strength training20 min of walking or yoga. A high heart rate during a storm raises arrhythmia risk for sensitive people.
- Cut coffee in the afternoonCaffeine amplifies the vascular response. Swap for herbal tea or water with lemon.
- Turn on Do Not Disturb from 21:00Less blue light and fewer stressful notifications = lower cortisol before sleep on a storm day.

How long does a magnetic storm last?
It varies widely: the most intense phase typically lasts only a few hours, a complete storm usually spans one to three days, and the slow recovery of a large storm can take up to a week.

Quiet conditions now, mild space storm expected soon
Conditions are calm at the time of writing, but a minor geomagnetic storm is forecast in the coming days. Weather-sensitive people may notice mild effects around the peak day, so light preparation is advisable.

Why keep a wellbeing journal on MeteoStorms?
A thirty-second daily entry does two big things at once: it builds you a personal, data-driven picture of whether magnetic storms, pressure drops, wind and temperature swings really affect how you feel, and it adds one anonymous data point to an open global study we are assembling: 100,000 people across every continent, age group and climate. Here is what the journal gives you back, from personal recommendations to a doctor-ready symptom diary, and why your ordinary days matter as much as your bad ones.

How is a weak magnetic storm different from a strong one?
Weak and strong geomagnetic storms are the same event at very different intensities. Here is how the Kp index and NOAA's G1–G5 scale tell minor everyday activity apart from rare, powerful storms.
Read →Magnetic storms & wellbeing, explained
Quick answers about the Kp index, how geomagnetic storms may affect weather-sensitive people, and how our forecast works.
What is the Kp index?
The Kp index is a 0–9 scale of global geomagnetic activity measured by ground magnetometers. Values of 5 and above mark a geomagnetic storm (NOAA levels G1–G5). We update it from NOAA SWPC and GFZ Potsdam data.
How do storms affect wellbeing?
Some people report headaches, fatigue, poor sleep or mood changes around strong geomagnetic activity and rapid pressure swings. This is a correlation, not a medical diagnosis — we simply help you notice patterns and take it easy when activity is high.
What to do during a magnetic storm?
During an active period, weather-sensitive people can ease their load: sleep enough, stay hydrated, avoid overexertion and reschedule demanding tasks when possible. Log how you feel in the diary to learn your own triggers.
How does the forecast work?
Our forecast combines NOAA SWPC space-weather models with live solar-wind and Kp readings to estimate geomagnetic activity for the days ahead. It shows the expected Kp range and NOAA G-level so you can plan ahead.
