Geomagnetic activity today

Description

5/9
Minor storm

On Monday, June 9, 2025, a geomagnetic activity level (kIndex) of 5 indicates a minor geomagnetic storm. This level of activity arises from interactions between solar wind and Earth's magnetic field, often resulting from coronal mass ejections or solar flares. Although classified as minor, it can still produce visual phenomena such as auroras at high latitudes. For weather-sensitive individuals, a kIndex of 5 may be significant. People with specific health conditions, such as cardiovascular issues, migraines, or those who are particularly sensitive to changes in atmospheric pressure, could experience an increase in symptoms. The disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field can affect the human body in various ways, potentially exacerbating headaches, mood fluctuations, and fatigue. Additionally, technology users might notice interference in high-frequency communications, GPS accuracy, and some satellite operations. It's advisable for weather-sensitive individuals to stay informed about geomagnetic conditions, practice self-care, and consult healthcare providers if necessary during such magnetic storms.
