the solar deity is ramping up its blasts.
"Dramatic auroras seen at unusually low latitudes over the weekend were caused by a cluster of sunspots, around 17 times as wide as Earth, that sent
at least seven blasts of magnetized plasma towards our atmosphere.
The current storm is ‘extreme’ in scale and capable of knocking out satellite communications and power grids.
more and bigger storms to come, the most intense ones can occur after the solar maximum, which is expected later in 2024."
@holon42 . Don't know about major effects but my watch hasn't connected to the national time service for at least a week.
