C H A P T E R N ° 46 The January 2026 Event
Dear reader
Hoplon is delighted to present its latest article.
In today’s article, we will look closer at the January 2026 space weather event.
As space weather is still a quite newly recognized natural hazard compared to other hazards, recorded space weather impact is sparse and the awareness-level is generally still quite low with discussions regarding space weather often highlighting misunderstandings and misinformation.
However, it is important to recognize that this natural hazard is real, and that it causes impact on critical infrastructure more often than the average citizen may be aware of.
In this article, we will, therefore, explore the January 2026 space weather event. One that has claimed its place at the top of the list of the most intense radiation storms in GOES records since the 2003 space weather event. Moreover, we will explore what caused the space weather event, and present key impacts.
Hoplon wishes you a pleasant read and hope to see you again soon!
