Along with increase in M-flares, the Sun has been very busy launching solar storms at Earth, with the next one due to reach us on October 12. We have had multiple solar storms hit us recently so even a small one could have a big effect. Several new sunspots are growing more unstable, notably 1865 and 1861, which has given us an M2.8 class flare already. Expect flare activity to increase this week and with that an increasing possibility of more solar storms headed our way. Learn about all this as well as the recent satellite disruptions caused by the increased solar activity in this latest video forecast.
