There has been a clear uptick in solar activity recently, including Earth-facing coronal holes, strong M-class flares, and multiple X-class flares. These features increase the flow of charged particles into the upper atmosphere and often align with broader shifts in global circulation, pressure patterns, and moisture pathways. While the mechanisms are complex, the timing of this solar uplift has again coincided with a key atmospheric transition point. The recent shift in solar activity aligned w
