 Space weather this week calms down compared to that big G4 level solar storm We had last week, but it looks like the quiet respite is over as we take a look at our earth-facing disc We do have a small chrono hole that's going to be rotating into the Earth strike zone here over the next couple days And it's going to give us a bit of fast solar wind Nothing like that massive chrono hole we had but that's not the big story The big story is that we were been watching region 3256 down in the south and as of about the 28th We started watching the activity level grow a bit and sure enough on the 29th Wham right there. That was a big X1 class flare. This also launched a solar storm It looks like it's going to go west of earth But nonetheless what means we do have a big flare player on earth's disc again And later in the day wham right there. It fires an M class flare as well So radio blackouts are back on the menu at least over the next couple days until this region rotates completely out of view And then we might get a little bit of radio quiet until region 3262 Rotates over that same place and then it might start getting active So we may have some intermittent radio blackouts over the next few days and things then will quiet down after that Because it doesn't look like there's all that much on the earth-facing disc in terms of other big flare players However, as we take a look at the far side, this is the stereo a's view We're looking at the Sun just a tiny bit from the side if you look and you can see that big chrono hole About mid-disk that should get you kind of oriented That's the one that's going to be rotating in the Earth strike zone here over the next couple days But you look past it and look at the East lemon stereos view. Well, you're seeing a few bright regions here and there It's looking kind of I don't know a little bit Stochastic not a lot going on. It doesn't seem like there's any big solar flares or any big players like that or solar storm producers But what it does show is that we will still have some bright regions rotating into view This means that that solar flux will stay up and radio propagation will stay in the good range on Earth's day side So as soon as we get rid of the big flare players It looks like things might actually quiet back down a little bit and radio propagation will be good pretty much everywhere all over the globe For more details on this week's space weather including how those radio blackouts might affect you come check out my channel Or see me at space weather woman.com
