Magnetic storms in June 2025: what days to watch out for

11 June 04:03

In June, there will be an increase in solar activity. Days with small, moderate and even very strong magnetic storms are expected. This is stated in the space weather forecast from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), "Komersant Ukrainian" reports

Geomagnetic storms are classified by power level – K-index – from 2 to 9. The higher the K-index, the stronger the storm and its consequences and impact on people and equipment.

In June, the following space weather is predicted:

june 11 – 4 (weak magnetic storm);
june 12 – 3 (weak magnetic storm);
june 13 – 6 (strong magnetic storm);
june 14 – 5 (strong magnetic storm);
june 15 – 4 (weak magnetic storm);
june 16 – 4 (weak magnetic storm);
june 17 – 4 (weak magnetic storm);
june 18 – 3 (weak magnetic storm);
june 19 – 3 (weak magnetic storm);
june 20 – 3 (weak magnetic storm);
june 21 – 3 (weak magnetic storm);
june 22 – 3 (weak magnetic storm);
june 23 – 4 (weak magnetic storm);
june 24 – 4 (weak magnetic storm);
june 25 – 6 (strong magnetic storm);
june 26 – 5 (strong magnetic storm);
june 27 – 4 (weak magnetic storm);
june 28 – 3 (weak magnetic storm).

It should be noted that the forecast is subject to change, as solar activity researchers update their data every three hours. Therefore, scientists recommend following the updates and warnings.

For those who are dependent on weather changes, it is especially important to be careful these days and pay attention to how you feel.

On the days of strong magnetic storms, most people feel unwell, weak, have a reduced ability to work, and have a depressed psychological state. Doctors recommend paying more attention to your health on such days, getting more rest, not overloading the nervous system, and following a normal daily routine.

How to reduce the negative impact of a magnetic storm

Magnetic storms are natural phenomena associated with solar activity, and although they rarely pose a serious danger, it is important to understand their impact.

Magnetic storms do not pose a serious health risk to most people. However, some studies indicate that mild disorders such as headaches, dizziness, insomnia, or deterioration of health in meteorologically sensitive people may occur during strong magnetic storms.

Experts advise avoiding stress, getting more rest, maintaining water balance, and minimizing physical activity.

To reduce the potential impact of magnetic storms, it is recommended to follow these tips

  • avoid excessive outdoor exposure during the peak moments of the storm;
  • limit physical activity;
  • get plenty of rest;
  • drink plenty of fluids;
  • avoid stressful situations.

People with serious chronic diseases should consult a doctor about additional precautions during strong magnetic storms.

Drivers should be especially careful, as magnetic storms can affect concentration.
