FORECASTED GLOBAL LIGHTNING NOISE (QRN)-

Northern hemisphere low latitude regions can expect VERY HIGH thunderstorm lightning induced QRN tied to summer season
proximity to the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and tropical warm core low pressure systems.

Northern hemisphere mid latitude regions can expect HIGH TO VERY HIGHthunderstorm lightning induced QRN tied to summer
season cold/warm/occluded fronts and associated extra-tropical cold core low pressure systems, as well as tropical warm core low pressure systems.

Northern hemisphere high latitude regions can expect HIGH thunderstorm lightning induced QRN tied to summer
season cold/warm/occluded fronts and associated extra-tropical cold core low pressure systems.

Southern hemisphere low latitude regions can expect HIGH thunderstorm lightning induced QRN tied to winter season proximity
to the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) as well as cold/warm/occluded fronts and associated extra-tropical cold core low
pressure systems.

Southern hemisphere mid latitude regions can expect MODERATEthunderstorm lightning induced QRN tied to winter
season cold/warm/occluded fronts and associated extra-tropical cold core low pressure systems.

Southern hemisphere high latitude regions can expect LOWthunderstorm lightning induced QRN tied to winter
season cold/warm/occluded fronts and associated extra-tropical cold core low pressure systems.

Reported by Space Weather . com X-FLARE! Big sunspot AR1520 unleashed an X1.4-class solar flare on July 12th at 1653 UT. Because the sunspot was directly facing Earth at the time of the blast, this is a geoeffective event. Stay tuned for updates about possible CMEs and radio blackouts.

wwv went out instantly took almost an hour before i could hear them again.. Usually 60 over on 10mhz during the day in Iowa. was totally knocked out.. 40/20/15/10 dead dead.. just now picking back up.. must been a big solar flare hit.. Will stay tuned to this bat channel..

thank god for QRZ a good place to network... I wish they had a live scrolling board filtered of course for bad language.. But be nice to get reports rom hams live !!!
