Nizhny Novgorod residents were informed about the impact of magnetic storms on the body.

      May 2, 2026 18:45 Society Magnetic storms can have a noticeable impact on the human body. During periods of increased geomagnetic activity, melatonin production may decrease while cortisol levels may rise, writes healthcare representative of the Nizhny Novgorod region Alexey Nikонов on his MAX channel. This is often cited as an explanation for sleep disturbances and exacerbation of anxiety states. Many people report such symptoms, especially during prolonged bursts of solar activity. Additionally, geomagnetic fluctuations affect the tone of the autonomic nervous system. This can provoke headaches and a feeling of "fog in the head" in weather-sensitive individuals. It is worth noting that a series of magnetic storms is expected in May for the residents of Nizhny Novgorod. It was previously reported that the average resident of Nizhny Novgorod encounters approximately 2,250 geomagnetic storms in their lifetime. NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has channels on Telegram and MAX.
