A climax of solar flares is expected to grow and wipe out the electrical grids by the end of this year or the middle of next year.

Yes, 1619 looks like the most impressive sunspot in over a year. The sun has been pretty lame in 2012... plenty of explosions and phenomena but the sunspots have been puny and haven´t punched out much lately.

We are getting plenty of auroras from solar wind streams, this and that...

People are going to be very disappointed when 2013 rolls around and life goes on. Time to face reality... pay your bills and get ready for more of the same!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Full rotation of sun takes about 29-30 days, so this sunspot can be earth directed again. And it could be much bigger then.

Re: FAST-GROWING SUNSPOT AR1619 - (updated) 30% chance of X-Class flares!
I've heard a lot about a massive solar flare in terms of its impact on electronics, but what would it do to people and other living things directly? Can anyone tell me?

Also, assuming an X class flare is heading here, how much time would we have from knowing it is coming to act?

I don't think that humans and other living creatures are affected directly by a CME (I think there could be trouble in case you have heart pacer or a defibrillator or other elctronic shit implanted in your body but that is just an assumption). Some people (here on GLP) have reported to have heat flushs or feeling kind of weird/trippy....but well, that's just GLP I guess...

Indirect effects however will be felt all over. Just imagine a world without electricity:

- no lights
- no heating
- no TV
- no radio
- no gas pumps working
- no street lights
- no cars working since all your electronics are fried
- no internet
- no phones
- no hospital service, all patients on life support dying
- no tap water
- no grocery stores
no nothing!

I only visit the solar watch thread now and then and this is what I grasped, since you are saying they could last for that time, please present source aswell, otherwise we are on equal ground tounge

Not trying to be a prick, just stating things as they are.

Maybe this is the wake up call we have all been waiting for.
