A Fizzle and a Spotless Sun: Solar Storm Shortie 10-24-2018
The recent solar storm we expected not only arrived late, it fizzled, giving us only a moderate burst of fast solar wind. At least it brought aurora down to mid-latitudes briefly. This week our Sun continues on the quiet side with another small burst of fast wind that will likely keep us at unsettled conditions. Aurora is likely at high latitudes. Amateur radio and shortwave radio operators are also being met with a spotless Sun again, which means marginal to poor radio propagation by the weekend. GPS users are the only people smiling this week with signal reception remaining good on both the day and night sides of Earth. Catch up on all the details of the forecast and see what else our Sun has in store this week.
