Solar Storms A 2024 Reality and What You Need to Know

Yes, Solar Cycle 25 is predicted to cause 2024 to be a peak year for solar activity. It means an increased risk of solar hurricanes, that are strong explosions of solar energy.

  • Here are a few noteworthy occurrences thus far:

    Two X-class flares: Solar flares in this category are the strongest. On February 21 and 22, 2024, they took place.

    Luckily, they were not directed towards Earth.

  • Expert predictions state that between January and October of 2024 will be when solar activity peaks.

The following are some possible effects of solar storms:

Interference from radio waves triggered by particles with high energies of the Sun may disrupt radio communications, impacting systems such as mobile networks, the Global Positioning System and other communication systems.
Problems with the electricity grid: electricity systems may experience outages due to high electrical currents induced by strong solar storms.

Danger to satellites solar storms possess been known to damage satellite electronics, impairing essential features like communication and navigation.

  • Organizations like NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which also sends out signals for potential solar storms, routinely track the Sun's activities.
