⚡ Why solar maximum matters in 2026

Power grids

G4–G5 storms drive currents in long lines. Operators in 2024–25 already ran protection drills — HELIOS shows the stress index live.

Starlink & satellites

Heated atmosphere = extra drag. Thousands of collision-avoidance burns happen during big storms. Wind >600 km/s is the tell.

GPS & HF radio

M/X flares black out dayside HF in minutes; strong Kp degrades GNSS accuracy for aviation, farming and surveying.

Aurora hunters

The upside! Declining phase after maximum statistically delivers the biggest individual storms — and the lowest-latitude auroras.
