Low Solar Flare output may cause extreme weather conditions.

Solar Flare activity has dipped to very low levels (see pic below) heralding a possible return to the more extreme weather conditions that were seen around the globe only around a week ago (see this feature) That particular period was preceded by a previous spell of low Solar Flare output, that lasted for around six or seven days.

The possibility of another extreme spell of disturbed weather may depend on how long the present low in Solar flare activity is likely to persist. Anything beyond two or three days is almost guaranteed to trigger a noticeable reaction, and the coming week will be watched with interest to see how conditions unfold.
