SUNSET SOLAR ECLIPSE: Next week, Europeans will see one of the strangest and most beautiful solar eclipses in decades. It's a sunset eclipse, peaking just as the solar disk sinks behind the Iberian countryside. North Americans will get an eclipse, too, although it is only partial.

Space Weather News for July 31, 2026 A BIG CME JUST LEFT THE SUN: NASA and NOAA models agree that it should graze Earth on Aug. 2nd. A glancing blow would spark geomagnetic storms and high-latitude auroras this weekend. Above: The CME recorded by NOAA's CCOR-1 coronagraph on...

Space Weather News for July 20, 2026 A GIANT RING-SHAPED SUNSPOT: Yesterday it was barely there; today it's the biggest sunspot group on the Earthside of the sun -- a fast-growing ring 100,000 km wide. This emerging active region has an unusually twisted magnetic field that could produce...

July 4 & 5, 2026: "MIDSUMMER GEOMAGNETIC STORM: Midsummer auroras are rare, but on the night of July 3/4 they blanketed the USA. The display was caused by a CME strike, which sparked a strong G3-class geomagnetic storm. "The auroras were visible with the naked eye alone, a really strong and...

June 30, 2026 EARTH-DIRECTED X-FLARE AND CME: Solar activity is at high levels following multiple explosions in new sunspot AR4479. The strongest so far, an X1.1-class solar flare on June 30th, hurled a CME directly toward Earth. This will bring a chance of geomagnetic storms and auroras later...

Daily Sun: 27 Jun 26 Expand: labels | no labels Sunspot 4478 has a 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field that harbors energy for X-class solar flares. Credit: NASA/SDO ...Visible even e.g. with just eclipse glasses (i.e. no magnification required – caution for eyes though)

... and especially with the new wars and [potentially (but perhaps not as of yet) uncontrollable] conflicts seen after 2022 up to today [(perhaps more than ever seen before after WW2 ... (?))] ... !

Also, there's the [predicted] issue of "singularity point/event" [related to the appearance of ASI etc.] (some predictions around the same time frame ~ 2040-45 or -50s etc. ... [?], depending ...), ... if ..., if ...

Space Weather News for June 6, 2026 ANOTHER CME IS COMING: The sun just launched another CME toward Earth. Minor (G1) to strong (G3) geomagnetic storms are possible when it arrives on June 8th. If the storm becomes strong, naked-eye auroras could spread across much of Europe, Canada, and at...

Space Weather News for June 3, 2026 STRONG GEOMAGNETIC STORM WARNING: NOAA forecasters are predicting strong geomagnetic storms this week as a rare 'anti-Hale' sunspot peppers Earth with strong solar flares. The X-class and near-X-class explosions are currently happening every 6 to 8 hours with...

Speaking of El Niño, here's something new (posted on spaceweather.com on May 15, 2026) that might show breaking connection [to Solar Phenomena and] to our topic : (preliminary note: as mentioned below [within the quote], the Terminator is a magnetic event on the sun that ends one solar cycle...

Indeed, unfortunately! ... Now, here's an interesting topic (posted on spaceweather.com on May 4, 2026) : "ARE WE OVERDUE FOR A SUPERFLARE? We've all heard of X-class solar flares--powerful explosions on the sun that pepper satellites with energetic particles and trigger great geomagnetic...

MONSTER SUNSPOT VISIBLE FROM MARS: One of the biggest sunspots in years is crossing the farside of the sun, crackling with X-class solar flares. Europe's Solar Orbiter and NASA's Perseverance rover on Mars can both see it. The behemoth will rotate toward Earth in 5 or 6 days, putting our planet...

April 24, 2026 X-Class SOLAR FLARE SHATTERS THE QUIET: The sun has been mostly quiet for weeks. That ended today with a powerful X2.4-class solar flare. The unexpected explosion caused a radio blackout in the Pacific Ocean and hurled a CME into space. More solar flares appear to be in the...

Generally, I think, no, and I only used the "currents from solar magnetics storms" just to show potential connection to weather phenomena, not to prove "causal relation" ... . As mentioned by others above, the consensus of research tends towards no immediate connection ...
