One hint would be the caption. It is showing a time series of changes in amplitude, not frequency.
The A3 portion fits in with what you were stating.?
A1 is the white trace, which represents the fundamental Schumann frequency of 7.83 Hz. A3 is the red trace, which represents the third order frequency of 20.8 Hz.
I wonder what the difference is between A1 & A3?
Amplitude, not frequency. It's showing how "loud" the signals on the various Schumann resonances got, not a change in frequency. For that, you want to look at figure 4 on that page.
As to what happened? There was some minor geomagnetic storming going on. The solar wind took a "south" turn. That might have something to do with it.
Average Amplitude had reached < 100 Hz
Never in history. That's quite a statement. You know this, how? Do you have access to archival data from that location? I'd love to have the link.
Point is, we've never before in documented history, seen it spike like it did yesterday.
Thanks. I just notice in myself that I have been a little more jacked up than normal. Can feel my BP going up sometimes for no apparent reason lately.
Again, a strong indication that the source is from local interference or a problem with the equipment.

I'm not bitter, I just dislike the dissemination of ignorance. The blind leading the blind, as it were. And this is a classic case.
I explained what another chart from that site shows. Allow me to explain what the spectrum monitor (the one that fascinates you) shows. It gives us three pieces of data. The horizontal axis is, of course, time. The vertical axis is frequency (with the scale on the left) and the colors represent amplitude expressed in dB. No key is provided for the color scale but it seems that it runs from blue at the lowest level to green, red, and white for the strongest signal.
So what we are seeing is an analysis of the strength of radio signals with frequencies between 0 and 40 Hz. Not discrete frequencies, a continous spectrum of that range of frequencies. Now, look at the parts of the display which are not overwhelmed by noise. See those bands at about 8 Hz, 13 Hz, and 20 Hz? Those are the first three of the Schuman resonance frequencies.Notice that the first has the strongest signal, the next is weaker, and the third is weaker still. Also notice that each signal is somewhat spread out, they cover a small range of frequencies not a specific frequency.
Now, notice that when the noise (whatever is causing it) cuts in, it covers the entire range from nearly 0 all the way to 40 Hz. That's called broadband noise because it covers a broad range of frequencies. The whole range became flooded between 12:00 noon and 12:00 noon (UTC). On, and off. That is a pretty good indication that some local source of interference came online and then offline.
Now, go to the display translated as "Electromagnetic Background Level." Here we see a much broader frequency range than the one which includes just the Schumann resonances. Notice that the same noise is affecting an extremely wide range of frequencies at the same time. Again, a strong indication that the source is from local interference or a problem with the equipment
I know what the displays show. I know what things can influence the instruments.
The truth of this issue is you dont know what you are talking about.
The scientists dont know what its changing and you dont know the cause.
Yes, he said it in the OP.
I know what the poster is trying to say.
Lately, the frequency has been breaking records, first time ever before reaching over 100 Hz.

The photon belt woowoo is still a thing?
but ignorance, sir, is not present within I,
