NOAA Predicts Mild Solar Storm Season

[Guest guest]

Yes, they are predicting a mild season and odds are that it will be. The prediction of another major solar storm hitting the earth is based on the known frequency with which it happens. Going by that measure, we are due for another one.

NOAA Predicts " Mild " Solar Storm Season

Washington, D.C. (AHN) - The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's

(NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center released a report on Friday predicting a

mild season of solar storms. The report is good news for Earth as solar storms

send disruptive energy, wrecking havoc on man-made satellites and electrical

systems.

According to NOAA experts, " a new active period of Earth-threatening solar

storms will be the weakest since 1928. " Technically, experts say that Solar

Cycle 24 will peak in May 2013; with an average of 90 sunspots per day.

" As with hurricanes, whether a cycle is active or weak refers to the number of

storms, but everyone needs to remember it only takes one powerful storm to cause

huge problems, " NOAA scientist Doug Biesecker explained in a statement. " The

strongest solar storm on record occurred in 1859 during another below-average

cycle. "

According to the National Academy of Sciences, if a storm as strong as the one

which occurred in 1859 occurred today, it could cause $1-2 trillion in damages

the first year alone.
