Not only is the Northern Hemisphere suffering from continuous heat waves during the current summer, but the Earth has been suffering a series of radio blackouts due to the actions of the Sun.
However, in these last few hours, the Sun has released More than a dozen solar particle streams heading towards our planetcausing radio blackouts in different areas.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued an alert yesterdayshowing a 65% chance that radios, aviation communications and satellite operations could be disrupted during the next few hours.
This is a normal solar phenomenon, since solar flares are explosions of electromagnetic radiation that arise from sunspotsand there are quite a few active at the moment.
When these solar flares erupt, they send radiation from the surface of the sun to our planet.
Solar flares are distinguished by their strength, with X-flares and M-flares standing out, which can affect Earth’s communications.
It is reported that in the last 24 hours, The Sun has produced 14 solar flaresSpecifically, these stronger flares come from sunspot AR 3738.
Last Tuesday this sunspot emitted a strong X-flare, and caused a severe radio blackout in the Atlantic Ocean, but also in parts of Africa, Europe, and North and South America..
According to reports, in the next few hours, 70% of the eruptions are expected to be of type M, and 25% of the eruptions of type X, the strongest, are expected, so we could see communications interrupted once again.
