Add to it an earth-facing coronal hole
This is likely one of the largest solar radio events ever recorded. Radio communication interference with aircraft were reported by multiple NWS Center Weather Service Units (CWSU) co-located at FAA facilities. See https://t.co/U2jmmJNjJV for full story. pic.twitter.com/tAiLovhCUw

High Solar Activity Continues
December 15, 2023 @ 08:30 UTC
High solar activity continues with a dual M6.3/M6.9 M-Flare around AR 3514. (Image) This event just peaked at 07:34 UTC (Dec 15). Another coronal mass ejection (CME) is likely with a trajectory mostly to the west. An update will be provided should there be somewhat of an Earth directed component.
