Boulder, CO – Early Wednesday morning, an X1.8 solar flare erupted from sunspot Region 3848, marking the fourth significant solar flare this October. The sun’s heightened activity has caused increased concern over communication disruptions.

The recent surge of solar flares has repeatedly impacted high-frequency (HF) radio signals, affecting users globally. According to NOAA, the series of flares over the past few months has not only disrupted communications but also intensified the appearance of the northern lights across much of the United States.

As the sun continues its active cycle, more flares are expected, potentially leading to further disruptions. NOAA recommends that users of HF radios and other communication systems remain alert to updates. The frequency and intensity of these solar events could last for several months.
