Oh boy more coronal holes, they’re popping up everywhere.

CORONAL HOLE ALERT! CORONAL HOLE ALERT! CORONAL HOLE ALERT!

A large coronal hole has just appeared over the E limb close to the equator (dark area). In about a week (assuming it survives) it will move into a geoeffective position and high-speed solar wind from it will likely impact the Earth causing geomagnetic storms.

The strength of our magnestosphere is down 25% due to the pole shift in progress. The grid is absolutely NOT prepared to take a major CME. Even IF a bit of work has been done to protect power plants and some power substations or trunk lines, it won't matter much because EVERY electric wire and circuit on Earth will fry.

With the excellerated weakening of the magnetosphere a CME of only moderate strength which would have had no real impact 10 years ago could send us into the realm of mad max. What happens on the Sun has a huge impact on all of the atmospheric layers and the Earth's crust.

HAVE NICE DAY EVERYONE
