X-Class Solar Flare Causes Radio Blackout, Potential Auroras in U.S.
• X1.4 class solar flare caused radio signal degradation, especially in Southeast Asia and Australia.
• NOAA issued a moderate geomagnetic storm watch for March 31, with potential auroras visible as far south as New York, Wisconsin, and Washington state.
• Coronal mass ejection (CME) from the flare could interact with Earth's magnetic field, causing geomagnetic storms and auroras.
Solar flare causes radio degradation, CME follows
On March 30, 2026, an X1.4 class solar flare erupted from the sun, causing radio signal degradation on Earth, particularly in Southeast Asia and Australia. This event also triggered a coronal mass ejection (CME) that could potentially impact Earth.
