Solar Flare 2024 Aurora Borealis. An unusual amount of solar flare activity means that the aurora borealis, or the northern lights, could continue to appear over the weekend. The sun's stormy weather is supercharging auroras on earth this week, due to a series of intense geomagnetic storms triggered by recent solar flares.
The rare solar storm may also disrupt communications. The us national oceanic and atmospheric administration (noaa) has forecast the solar maximum will peak in 2024, making flares and coronal mass ejections more likely.
