Geoeffective:
Capable of causing a geomagnetic disturbance [Wiktionary]
Like making our telegraph lines catch fire? Noted on Spaceweather.com today:
INCREASING CHANCE OF FLARES: NOAA forecasters have boosted the chance of M-class solar flares today to 25%. This is in response to the continued growth of AR3141. The big sunspot now has a ‘beta-gamma’ magnetic field that harbors energy for moderately-strong explosions. Any flares will be geoeffective as the sunspot is turning toward Earth.
No weighing in on our elections, dammit!
