X1.9 Solar Flare & SR ~ 18 January 2026

The first X-flare of 2026! The firepower of this X1.9 Solar Flare was augmented by the duration of its illumination, which was almost 4 hours as the graph below tells us:

Strong solar storms are expected in a few days' time:

We have another massive coronal hole facing Earth:

Meanwhile, what's happening with the SR readings?

Something else I will mention, and it could be related or totally have nothing to do with the current Solar activity but I'm documenting for future reference ~ 48 hours or so prior to this X-class flare, there were so many micro-shifts occurring. There is no doubt of several Timeline stuff taking place. I've even felt Time stalling for a moment, then surging forwards. I distinctly feel "adjustments" being made.

For those old enough to remember, it's like carefully turning the radio dial to get the clearest reception of a specific station ~ teensy shifts counter-clockwise or clockwise, usually to and fro repeatedly, until we get the frequency that delivers the sharpest transmission. I feel that is what's happening.

 

Namarie! 💜
