Solar Flares
The most recent solar minimum occurred in 2008 and the sun began to ramp up in January 2010 with an M-class flare a flare that is 10 times less powerful than the largest flares labeled X-class. Flares produce a burst of radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum from radio waves to x-rays and gamma-rays.

Increased electromagnetic activity due to solar storms can also disrupt power grids and radio communications.
Solar flares. The sun has continued to get more active with the next solar maximum predicted for 2013. More information Scientists classify solar flares according to their x-ray brightness in the wavelength range 1 to 8 Angstroms. A solar flare is a short-lived sudden increase in the intensity of radiation emitted in the neighborhood of sunspots.
Historically it was best monitored in the H-alpha wavelength and occurs in the chromosphere though occasionally white light flares are seen in the photosphere. They can rain extra radiation on satellites and increase the drag on satellites in low-Earth orbit. Consequences include pretty auroras as well as hazards.
Solar flares dont cause heat waves but they do have other impacts on Earth.
