New research reveals that Washington, DC, is the most vulnerable US city to the intense solar storms currently peaking in Solar Cycle 25. These powerful solar storms, known for causing sunspots, flares, and massive bursts of electromagnetic energy, could disrupt power grids and communication systems. Along with Milwaukee, DC is highlighted as a high-risk area due to factors like ground conductivity and the city’s infrastructure. As these solar storms intensify, Washington, DC’s critical infrastructure might face significant challenges, making this a crucial issue to watch in the coming years.
Early warning signs of the sun's impending 11-year solar cycle have been mentioned before. The solar maximum,' or pinnacle of Solar Cycle 25, is currently occurring. It is distinguished by a high level of solar activity, including flares, sunspots, and coronal mass ejections. As a result, there is a huge spike in electromagnetic radiation that is directed towards Earth. According to recent...
