Energetically-speaking, the final few days of 2023 and these first 2 days of 2024 have been immense and intense. I think this is quite a good indicator of how the year will play out ~ so many different dynamics all operating simultaneously as our beautiful Planet continues ever-Godward along her Ascension Journey under the watchful purview of the Cosmos.
The SR in the past few days have been registering high readings alongside those thin stripey things again:

Aaaaand...... an X5-flare erupted on 31 December 2023 at 22:05 UT (that would already be 1 January 2024 in many countries), spewing out what must be tons of Cosmic Plasma that would affect every single sub-atomic particle in the Solar System. Reports state that it's the strongest flare since September 2017.

Japan was sadly hit by a 7.6-magnitude earthquake on 1 January 2024 ~ this could be related to the X5-flare ("Science" does not openly/officially recognise the correlation between the two).
Solar wind forecast post-flare looks like this:
