Wrong chart. That's solar radio flux.
This project reveals a correlation (above 0.9) between the deviation of TEC values and the high energy (> 10MeV) proton flux.

Not the temperature rise. I don't see how proton flux could do that.
It could be the reason for the change in TEC. Even though the researchers acknowledge a great deal of solar noise during the precursor period, they discount it because geomagnetic activity was quite calm on the 8th. But increases in proton flux do not necessarily cause geomagnetic activity while they can affect TEC.
