"Double Solar Storm Threatens Major Radio Blackouts and Northern Lights Display Across 12 States"

TL;DR Summary
Two powerful solar storms are set to strike Earth this week, with a 75% chance of causing radio blackouts on Tuesday and Wednesday. The storms, released by two active sunspots, have the potential to disrupt communications and are the largest seen in weeks. The first storm, which hit on Monday, already disrupted radio communications over the Pacific Ocean, Fiji, and the northeast coast of Australia. The second storm is predicted to be a glancing blow to the south of Earth, potentially causing minor issues for high-frequency radio communications near the equator and South American regions.
