This is important.
40% probability that the grid will blow during sunspot cycle 25. I give it 2 yrs at most.


If I was TPTB, I'd be thinking about locking down the planet soon.

Elzein has been chasing auroras in Finland for 10 years. He prides himself on going out in all conditions–even when geomagnetic activity is nominally low. “I can’t recall ever seeing so much red on top of the green layer before,” he says.
In Tromsø, Norway, aurora tour guide Markus Varik had a similar experience..“Activity was extremely low on Oct 17 when pink and red colors appeared,” says Varik. “After years of guiding, I have never seen anything similar to this.”

Signs of the degree to which the magnetosphere has weakened.

Auroras without a Solar Storm: Sign o’ the Times

For much of mid-October, Earth’s magnetic field has been very quiet, reports Dr Tony Phillips over at spaceweather.com. Extremely quiet. No sunspots. No solar flares. No CMEs. No gust of solar wind.
Such calm space weather conditions should have produced no auroras at all, yet around the Arctic Circle, photographers have been capturing stunning scenes

Another marker of the weakening magnetosphere; ionospheric electron precipitation into the lower atmosphere has been increasing when it would be expected to be decreasing instead.
