When is it forecast to happen?

Some of you are too young to remember what a magnet would do to the older computers!

Why do you think the whold world is working on a solution? Possible? Absolutely!

Even the smaller ones that occur affect what goes through the atmosphere! Even 5G affects air traffic controls.

We are in Solar Cycle 25. There has been activity in this cycle since (2019) and activity is expected to continue to 2030.

The information is available for all to read and learn.

(Of course statements made that we will all be dead by then are misleading but I digress.)🙄

For accurate scientific facts on this, I'd look at the government NOAA website National Environmental Satellite, Data, & Information Service and the NASA website. (I wouldn't look to a .com or a for-profit TV or stream program)

From the NASA website:

Like a tornado siren for life-threatening storms in America’s heartland, a new computer model that combines artificial intelligence (AI) and NASA satellite data could sound the alarm for dangerous space weather.

The model uses AI to analyze spacecraft measurements of the solar wind (an unrelenting stream of material from the Sun) and predict where an impending solar storm will strike, anywhere on Earth, with 30 minutes of advance warning. This could provide just enough time to prepare for these storms and prevent severe impacts on power grids and other critical infrastructure.

The computer code in the DAGGER model is open source, and according to Upendran, it could be adopted, with help, by power grid operators, satellite controllers, telecommunications companies, and others to apply the predictions for their specific needs. Such warnings could give them time to take action to protect their assets and infrastructure from an impending solar storm, such as temporarily taking sensitive systems offline or moving satellites to different orbits to minimize damage.
