This Solar Storm Forecast sponsored in part by 3ric Johanson: http://instagram.com/scubist
Two familiar bright regions rotate back into Earth-view this week, but they arent quite as active as they were the last time we saw them. No longer classified as sunspots, nevertheless, these regions are still boosting the solar flux, which means radio propagation is back into the marginal range on Earth’s dayside for emergency responders and amateur radio operators. We also have a stealthy solar storm that has launched towards Earth. Couple that with the small pockets of fast solar wind in this “coronal hole, bright region oreo cookie sandwich” and we could see unsettled to active conditions on and off throughout this whole week. Learn more about how these bright regions might affect you, catch up on aurora photos from recent solar storms, and see what else our Sun has in store!
