Yeah I'm not too familiar with solar flare classes, but atleast there are members checking in (S&F) P.s. Phage, I thought you had vanished,
I haven't seen you comment in any threads I've been reading recently. Either way good to see you're still on here!
It's my belief that the sun via earth directed CME's are able to knock out low pressure systems.
It's just a theory of mine.
It may just be a coincidence and could actually do with a bit more input from members who are more clued up but I'd like to share some things that I
believe are connected.
Take the recent earthquake swarm on the ridge south of iceland on the fault line to the west of the UK for instance. There were quite a few actually
all above 4 magnitude.
Then suddenly a strong low pressure system forms pretty much near the surrounding area where winds were expected to moce to the UK.
Could the energy released from the earthquakes have actually powered up the low pressure so to speak creating it somehow?
The other theory is that an earth directed cme has the power to actually crush the low pressureor should I say raise the pressure somewhat because it
seems to have happened twice now and both times the cme or solar activity seems to have cancelled it out.
