Solar Flux Hits New High & Big Flares Possible Now | Space Weather News 11.26.2020

Tamitha  Skov: For all my Forecast Shortie Patrons, here is my full Space Weather News forecast a full 12 hours before anyone else gets access! This week we see a fundamental change in our star as solar flux skyrockets and surpasses 100 for the first time in several years! If any of you have seen my lectures on how Solar Cycle 25 will ramp up then you know this is exactly what we expect when we cross the terminator into the new cycle. Expect solar flux to continue to climb and activity to increase over the coming months. If anyone has been doubting the arrival of Cycle 25, doubt no more! On top of the solar flux increase, we also have multiple solar storms, including the first full-halo eruption of this new cycle. Although this is a far-sided eruption and not earth-directed, it does signal that the Sun is launching powerful solar storms again! we will keep our eye on this region as it rotates into view. Add to this the fast solar wind that brought us to G1-storm levels and might still cause aurora to dip into mid-latitudes this week, and it feels like we are definitely climbing out of solar minimum and on our way to a more vibrant Sun! 

As always, I am including the You Tube description and 5-day outlooks below.
