I actually wrote the August Monthly Visions a couple of weeks ago but it felt unfinished.

It wasn’t until this evening when I checked the Space Weather Solar Flares page, as it felt like for sure we’ve had some big ones over the last couple of days, that I saw what clearly this report has been waiting for: There have been nine M Class Solar Flares this week from Monday 15 Aug – Friday 19 Aug! NINE!!!*

*From a previous Monthly Visions: Flares are ranked A, B, C, M and X with X being the most powerful. Each letter has a scale from 1-9, (eg M1 flare, X2 flare) and each letter is 10 times more powerful than the previous letter. M and X class flares are more common in Solar Maximum cycles, which we are gearing up to now with the expected peak around 2024-2026...+
