Large-Scale Power Outage Reported; Grid Under Stress

A large-scale power outage is being reported: "Thousands of households can get free fans and blackout curtains under new £1million scheme". Widespread outages can be caused by severe weather, grid failures, or - relevant to what this site tracks - a strong geomagnetic storm inducing damaging currents in transformers.

M1.2 Solar Flare Detected; Minor Radio Disruptions Expected

GOES satellites measured a M1.2-class solar flare peaking at 2026-07-09T02:27:00Z (X-ray flux 1.2e-5 W/m2, radio-blackout scale ~R1). Flares cause immediate shortwave radio blackouts on Earth's sunlit side. If this flare launched a CME toward Earth, a geomagnetic storm could follow in 1-3 days - worth watching the Kp index.

Widespread Power Outage in Cuba: What We Know and How to Prepare

A large-scale power outage is being reported: "Cuban Leadership Claims Innovative Solutions Amidst Widespread Power Outage". Widespread outages can be caused by severe weather, grid failures, or - relevant to what this site tracks - a strong geomagnetic storm inducing damaging currents in transformers.

M1.6 Solar Flare Detected; Monitor for Radio Effects Today

GOES satellites measured a M1.6-class solar flare peaking at 2026-07-08T17:56:00Z (X-ray flux 1.6e-5 W/m2, radio-blackout scale ~R1). Flares cause immediate shortwave radio blackouts on Earth's sunlit side. If this flare launched a CME toward Earth, a geomagnetic storm could follow in 1-3 days - worth watching the Kp index.
