Getting ready for the next #CarringtonEvent. :-)
"The May 2024 geomagnetic storm was the largest for over 20 years. The storm was categorized as a ‘low-level’ G5, where G5 is the highest on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scale for geomagnetic storms, yet the individual solar eruptive events were not particularly severe, and the observed impacts were relatively minor. The impacts that were observed were due to the combined and sustained effect of five successive earthward-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs) which drove the storm. The event exposed the weakness of the current storm classification system which does not discriminate between low impact and high impact G5 events; it exercised the UK Met Office forecasting system, communications and UK preparedness; and it highlighted key areas that need to be addressed, particularly relating to national power supplies, space traffic management, aviation, forecasting and data gaps. Here, we set out what happened, record some of the key impacts, discuss what went well and what needs to be improved. We make 14 recommendations relevant to four government departments, so that the UK can be better prepared for a low-probability, high-impact space weather event described in the reasonable worst-case scenario that informs the national risk register."

#Sonne vom 10.12.2025, 11:46
Die Gruppe an #Sonnenflecken Mitte rechts war recht aktiv, schlussendlich aber nicht bedrohlich. 😮💨
Die Größe der Flecken entsprach etwa 90 % derer die am 1. September 1859 das #CarringtonEvent auslösten - heute wären die Folgen ungleich schwerwiegender - das könnte aber jederzeit wieder passieren. Im Juli 2012 sind wir knapp an so was "vorbeigeschrammt".
