Many people are affected by geomagnetic disturbances. Therefore, when planning your activities, it is necessary every month, including in February 2022, to take into account dangerous days for weather-dependent people. The table of unfavorable periods will help with this.

Causes of magnetic storms on Earth

Perturbations of the magnetic field of our planet are associated with flares on the surface of the Sun. As a result, the so-called solar wind is formed, which, once in outer space, is directed towards the Earth.

The solar wind speed depends on the intensity of solar flares. The higher the solar activity, the stronger the geomagnetic disturbance on Earth.

The activity of the solar surface has its own periodicity, the cycles of which can be:

• 11 years;
• 22;
• 100 years;
• 1000 years;
• 2300 years old.

The duration of these periods is rather arbitrary. Scientists point out that in different centuries the duration of the shortest cycle can range from 7 to 17 years. This was the case from the 18th to the early 20th century. Since the second half of the last century, the duration has decreased to 10, 5 years.

It is known that the greatest activity on the Sun is observed in the first half of the cycle. This takes approximately 4 years. At this time, strong magnetic storms occur on Earth. In the next 7 years, solar activity decreases. Such figures are given by calculations made on the basis of the Schwabe-Wolf law, which discovered the periodicity of solar activity.

The activity of the Sun during the indicated periods is measured in the relative numerical terms of Wolf. The highest values, reaching 201 units, were observed in the 19-year solar cycle. The minimum values were 40 units.

Based on the calculations that astronomers who observe the Sun are constantly conducting, dangerous days in February 2022 have already been identified for meteorological people, which can be found in the calendar for a given period.

The length of the 22-year cycle can fluctuate depending on the length of the 11-year cycle. This period is also called the double Schwabe cycle.

Secular cycles also do not have a single length, their duration can vary from 70 to 100 years. The maximum duration of the secular period of solar activity was observed in the middle of the last century. Within the period, scientists distinguish the so-called minima, in which a decrease in solar activity is observed.

Moreover, the solar wind exists in all periods. It moves towards the Earth at different speeds, depending on the peaks of solar activity.

Why are magnetic storms dangerous for people?

Geomagnetic disturbances caused by the solar wind affect not only living organisms, but also modern highly sensitive equipment. It is on such days that electrical and computer equipment malfunctions occur.

Magnetic disturbances are especially dangerous for people with a history of severe chronic diseases of blood vessels and heart. Exposure to geomagnetic disturbances can cause heart attacks and strokes, so such people need to be especially careful.

People without chronic diseases may experience on such days:

• headache;
• a sharp decline in strength;
• high or low blood pressure;
• bursts of aggression and irritability;
• insomnia.

Based on calculations, scientists can calculate such dangerous days long before the onset of the studied calendar period. After that, they constantly update the received data. Researchers receive the most accurate information about the dates of magnetic storms in a given month before the onset of the next month. This information is transmitted in a weather forecast program.

Dangerous days of February 2022

It is already known in advance when geomagnetic disturbances on Earth will be felt in February. This information is not final, it is constantly updated. But this data is enough for those who plan their lives for February today.

Table of dangerous days in February 2022 for meteorological people:

Magnetic storms in February 2022
Medium intensity	Maximum intensity	Medical advice for protecting the body from geomagnetic disturbances
1	8	On days of moderate magnetic disturbances, physical, intellectual and emotional stress should be reduced. On days of strong magnetic storms, it is best to abandon important work that requires maximum concentration and stress. Any physical activity is prohibited on such days.
	16
	24

It is especially important to follow the calendar for sick people with vascular and heart pathologies, as well as for people with mental disorders. These patients are at risk and should be extremely careful on days of magnetic storms. It is best to stay at home with all the medications you need on hand.

Information about magnetic storms in February next year will help not only sick, but also healthy people to build their life schedule in such a way as to protect themselves as much as possible.

Outcomes

1. Perturbations of the Earth's magnetic field are associated with flares on the surface of the Sun.
2. The maximum solar activity is observed in the first half of the cycle.
3. Geomagnetic disturbances affect all organisms.
4. Magnetic storms are especially dangerous for people with severe chronic diseases of blood vessels and heart.
5. In February 2022, magnetic storms are expected on the 8th, 16th and 24th.
