Is A Solar Storm Coming In 2026. During the first full week of may, a barrage of large solar flares and coronal mass ejections (cmes) launched clouds of charged particles and magnetic fields toward earth, creating the strongest solar storm to reach earth in two decades. Solar flares and coronal mass ejections (cme) will likely become more probable and impactful space weather events may be.
Stronger solar cycles produce more solar storms with greater intensity and therefore pose a larger hazard for these critical technologies and services. Swarm bravo detects strong solar storm.
