    This morning, Ben Davidson of Suspicious Observers noted that the cosmic rays are increasing today. At 12:25pm local time (15:25 UTC) 22 June 2017, the rad unit detected a spike of 51 cpm. Normally the cpms range between 7 and 20.

    Did anyone else see spikes today?

    I’ve attached today’s graph for my unit, I don’t see anything unusual.

    Thanks for checking, Cristian. Your data looks good. One factor here in Uruguay that may explain the spike is that this country has the weakest magnetic field of all nations. Thinking that creates some vulnerabilities to space weather.
