The second X flare was much more energetic, propelling a proton storm to Earth at over 1300 kilometers per second! We are seeing a proton storm and solar radiation storm,with levels still rising. And, we’ll have increased solar wind speed. This will result in a G2 geomagnetic disturbance with brief periods at G3 or higher. All of these spaceweather factors cause different effects for different people. Observe headaches, migraine, insomnia, agitation, anxiety, brain fog and tinnitus. Stay calm. There is no danger. Those of us who are solar sensitive often have preexisting nervous system hypersensitivity and it is easier to be triggered into an over-alert state of stress, so we need to work harder to deescalate and relax.

“A solar radiation storm (also known as a Solar Proton Event or SPE) occurs often after major eruptions on the Sun when protons get launched at incredibly high speeds, sometimes up to several 10.000 km/s. These radiation storms can bridge the Sun-Earth distance in as little time as 30 minutes and last for multiple days. In this article we are going to explain what a solar radiation storm is and what kind of effects it has on us.

S-scale
NOAA uses a five-level system called the S-scale, to indicate the severity of a solar radiation storm. This scale ranges from S1 to S5, with S1 being the lowest level and S5 being the highest level. Every S-level has a pfu (proton flux unit) threshold associated with it. For example: S1 solar radiation storm levels are reached when the 10 MeV pfu count reaches a value of 10 at geosynchronous satellite altitudes. Do note that this scale is actually logarithmic. What that means it that a moderate (S2) proton event occurs when the proton flux reaches 100 pfu, not 20!”
