Hurricane Michael Leaves but Much Remains Unsettled: Solar Storm Forecast Shortie 10-12-2018
Even though we are slowly quieting down from the solar storm that hit us nearly a week ago, space weather remains unsettled. But we do have another solar storm on the way. This is not the best news for emergency radio operators responding to Hurricane Michael. The good news is that this time the solar storm impact should not be as intense as the last one and it should quiet down much more rapidly. We also have a new bright region rotating into view off the Sun's east limb, which is boosting solar flux and radio propagation back into the marginal levels on the earth's day side. Learn more about the coming solar storm, how bad the radio bands and GPS will be affected, where aurora may be visible and what else the Sun has in store this week.
