Kyiv • UNN
In March 2025, mostly weak magnetic storms with a Kp-index of up to 5 are forecasted. The highest activity is expected in mid-March.

In March 2025, weak magnetic storms are expected that will not exceed Kp-index 5, which indicates a predominantly calm geomagnetic situation. This was reported by UNN.
The level of magnetic storms is estimated by the Kp-index (geomagnetic activity index):
- 0-3: calm environment.
- 4-5: a weak storm.
- 6-7: moderate storm.
- 8-9: a strong storm.
According to the data of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the following periods of magnetic activity are expected in March :
March 9 - magnetic storm of red level, K-index 5
March 12-14 - a strong red-level magnetic storm, K-index 5
March 15-16 - a magnetic storm of medium activity, K-index 4
March 18 - a magnetic storm of medium activity, K-index 4
How to reduce the impact of magnetic storms on health
To reduce the impact of magnetic storms on the body, it is important to regularly monitor forecasts of geomagnetic activity. This will allow you to prepare in advance for possible changes in your health and take measures to reduce the negative impact.

On days of increased activity, it is recommended to limit physical activity: avoid intense workouts and choose light activities such as walking outdoors or doing yoga. This will help reduce the stress on your body.
Stress can also increase the negative effects of magnetic storms, so it is important to use relaxation techniques such as meditation or breathing exercises. This will help maintain emotional balance and reduce anxiety. In addition, do not forget about the importance of quality sleep: try to sleep at least 7-8 hours a night, as this helps to restore strength and reduces sensitivity to external stressors.
A balanced diet also plays an important role in strengthening the immune system. Include more fruits, vegetables, nuts, and fish in your diet to support your overall health. On days of magnetic storms, it is useful to reduce the use of electronics, as it can make you feel worse. Finally, don't forget about hydration: drink enough water to maintain your water balance, as dehydration can exacerbate the negative effects.
