A strong G3-class geomagnetic storm is impacting Earth between May 28th and 29th, 2025. Triggered by a negative polarity coronal hole high-speed stream, this event may affect satellites in low Earth orbit, potentially causing increased atmospheric drag and orientation issues. Satellite navigation systems and radio communications could also experience disruptions.
Auroras may be visible at lower latitudes, possibly as far south as Pennsylvania, Iowa, and Oregon. Power systems might experience voltage irregularities. The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) expects enhanced solar wind conditions to persist through May 31st.
How to Stay Healthy During a Geomagnetic Storm
While geomagnetic storms primarily affect technology, they can also impact human health. Individuals sensitive to geomagnetic activity may experience headaches, insomnia, or blood pressure fluctuations. Here are some tips to mitigate these effects:
Maintain a regular sleep schedule.
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
Limit caffeine and alcohol intake.
Reduce physical and emotional stress.
Spend time in nature and ensure good sleep.
Monitor geomagnetic activity forecasts and consult a doctor if symptoms worsen.
By taking these precautions, you can minimize the potential health impacts of geomagnetic storms.
