During geomagnetic disturbances, people with weather-related sensitivities may feel unwell. Symptoms include dizziness, headaches, heart palpitations, and blood pressure drops.

Experts advise maintaining a healthy lifestyle during magnetic storms. Do not eat junk food, or drink coffee and alcoholic beverages.

It is advisable to minimize both physical and mental stress. Taking walks outdoors and drinking more fluids during these days are recommended for this period. Include more seasonal vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts, and fish in your diet.

As a reminder, when birds and other animals make their seasonal migrations, they are guided by the geomagnetic field. However, coronal mass ejections on the Sun regularly trigger Earth's magnetic storms, which can temporarily disrupt the navigation process of birds on long-distance flights.
