The Sun’s face gets a lot more active this week with two coronal holes and two active regions rotating into Earth view. This means we get two more chances for some fast solar wind to cause us to reach solar storm conditions with some aurora while the Sun gives us a nice boost in the solar flux for radio propagation without any risk of big flares. The good news is just in time for the holidays for aurora photographers, amateur radio operators, and GPS operators. See details of the coming storms, how long the Sun has will keep up its brightness up, and what else is in store this week.
