United KingdomA study by the University of New Hampshire has found that solar storms can lead to temporary decreases in precipitation, such as reduced rainfall and snowfall, in certain regions of North America. This effect was observed in areas like the Rocky Mountains and Canada's Hudson Bay, particularly during summer and winter. The research combined historical space weather data with atmospheric measurements and used computer modeling to detect these previously unseen patterns. Scientists suggest that electromagnetic radiation from solar flares may influence weather through the polar vortex, offering a potential mechanism for these changes. While the findings do not currently impact daily weather forecasting, they contribute to understanding how solar activity might influence Earth's climate systems.
