im in the uk and some of the terestial channel(annologue) keep getting static. may or may not be related.

Would the geomagnetic solar storms have anything to do with the sky seeming to have two layers of clouds?

The lower clouds are moving VERY quickly and the upper clouds are moving very slow.

My wireless internet has been acting sporadic off and on for the past week. However, it's only in one room of the house, and usually when I go to visit this site. I have no way to explain it though, my router is in direct view of the room, without any objects in its way that could cause interference. To get it working again all I have to do is pick up and move to another room.

I don't know about the cable though, I hardly ever watch TV.

I noticed the same thing late last week...

I do not watch much TV, and when I do it is through TiVo, so I usually attribute issues (pixelation, etc.) to TiVo. I cannot verify issues with commercials, as I flip forward through those.

My router signal has been wonky for the past few days, and it's never given me issue through the years I've lived at my location with the same setup.

The network at work has been more intermittent than normal, with Friday being a complete counterproductive nuisance, especially since it's my job to maintain it. No explanation or reason, though- just reset it by powering off and on.

I am east of Alabama. ;-)






Odd.

The clouds had layers last night too. I thought they looked really cool with the sun going down and orange looking. I don't think that would have an affect though as clouds have different layers all the time (it seems like at least).

Maybe I am missing something in this though.

Solar-terrestrial indices for 11 October follow.
Solar flux 71 and mid-latitude A-index 25.
The mid-latitude K-index at 1800 UTC on 12 October was 2 (10 nT).

Space weather for the past 24 hours has been strong.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G3 level occurred.

No space weather storms are expected for the next 24 hours.

I live in Portland, Oregon. And our cable and radio go out randomly every few hours for the last couple weeks. Radio will just static or go silent for a few moments. The Tv will get all glitchy and freeze, Sometimes will go black for a few seconds.
we have comcast. It dosen't seem to affect my internet at all though.
I also live next to an airport. I have no idea if that has anything to do with it but I thought i'd throw that out there.

I have COX and living in Oklahoma. I keep having to reset my cable modem because internet seems to stop working. After resarting, all is well. InDemand was having some issues as well.

Well, it's very interesting so many people are experiencing the same issue and it does not seem to be related to one particular service or time of day.

Kinda weird.

Thanks all for your posts. Not sure still what could be causing it but yet it's kinda ID4 like. :p

If I find out any more information, I'll post it on here.

It looks like most of the problem is with cable signals. I have directv satellite and att phone/net. All of them are working perfectly fine. If it were atmospheric, it would seem that the satellite signals would get interference. This may be some transitioning issues as they remove the last of the analogs for the all digital changeover. Since I cant see the problem, I can only theorize.
