Check the auroral oval graphic and articles on https://www.spaceweather.com for the most up to date predictions. The sun is still spitting out X class flares, 2 today, 2 yesterday, and 1 Tuesday with some strong M class flares mixed in.

You must be new to Cspam. Grounding planes would harm the economy and so that will never be allowed to happen

Would this gently caress up planes?

I wouldn't trust the FAA to do the safe thing, but I'm sure there's some country with a functioning regulatory body that would have grounded flights by now.

another G4 warning



briefly hit S2 class solar radiation

tomorrow is supposed to be the maximum hit last i heard

That was a single G5 too. We're expecting several G5 in a row.. And after listening, they'll only get an early warning on how bad it could be when it's a hundred million miles away. Which is like about ~ 45 minutes or so.

I'm sure it's not that bad, otherwise somebody would say something right?
