Global electricity grid braces for worst solar storm in two decades
A powerful solar storm – the strongest in 20 years is hitting Earth, putting global electricity grids and satellites at risk. The UK Met Office and BGS warn multiple CMEs are arriving, causing auroras and threatening GPS, radio signals, and power infrastructure. With rising dependence on tech, extreme space weather poses serious risks, and the UK’s National Risk Register lists severe solar storms as a major threat with potentially significant economic and safety impacts.
