Solar Storm: NOAA Warns of Possible Radio Signal Blackouts As Sun Releases Powerful X1.2-Class Solar Flare
A powerful X1.2-class solar flare erupted from the Sun, prompting a warning from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) about possible radio signal blackouts. The intense flare, among the strongest in its category, could disrupt high-frequency (HF) communications on the sunlit side of Earth.
A powerful X1.2-class solar flare erupted from the Sun, prompting a warning from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) about possible radio signal blackouts. The intense flare, among the strongest in its category, could disrupt high-frequency (HF) communications on the sunlit side of Earth. NOAA noted that while such flares can severely degrade radio signals, this event is not expected to cause geomagnetic storms as it wasn’t accompanied by a coronal mass ejection (CME). Users relying on HF bands may face brief outages or communication loss. Solar Storm: NOAA Warns of Potential Technology Disruptions As Severe G4-Level Geomagnetic Storm Hits Earth.

X-Class Flare From Sun May Hit Radio Signals
UPDATE: This event is unlikely to trigger geomagnetic storms over the next 24 to 48 hours, as the flare was not accompanied by a coronal mass ejection (CME).
