M6.86 solar flare triggers radio blackout as CMEs head toward Earth

Wide burst CME aimed toward Earth that makes three shockwaves due between Friday and Sunday night

Published October 08, 2026

A powerful M6.86 solar flare has triggered a radio blackout and sent coronal mass ejections (CMEs) toward Earth, signaling an elevated risk of geomagnetic unrest over the coming days.

Primarily, sunspot region 4569 unleashed a flare causing a moderate R2 radio blackout that disrupted high-frequency communication on Earth’s sunlit side.

According to reports, multiple coronal mass ejections are heading our way with arrival expected Friday through Sunday night potentially intensifying G1 to G2 geomagnetic storms and clear auroras visible farther south in the southern US and Canada. The active region remains complex, with raising chances for more flares through the weekend.
