Sun sets off solar storm that could affect power grid and satellites – and create swirling northern lights - The Independent

There is no cause for alarm, despite reports that suggest solar storm could lead to danger.

There is thought to be a 30 per cent chance that it will lead to a minor or G1 class storm, which will probably peak on the Sunday, it said.

A G1 class storm can lead to small fluctuations in the power grid, some effects on satellites as well as the possibility of aurora?

It was unclear how likely that was and when it might arrive, but it is clear that the effects would only be small, it said?
