According to the Laboratory of X-Ray Astronomy of the Sun at FIAS, increased solar activity is predicted from February 10 to 12 and will reach average strength.  

Magnetic storms represent disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field caused by solar flares. Such changes can adversely affect the operation of communication systems, as well as human health. On the days of magnetic storms, weather-sensitive people may feel sick.


Increased solar activity most of all affects the elderly, pregnant women and people suffering from chronic diseases.


During the days of magnetic storms, doctors advise following these recommendations:
- refuse to eat fatty, spicy and fried food, eat more vegetables and fish;
- take walks outdoors;
- give up alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and energy drinks in favor of green tea;
- take a contrast shower before going to bed.
