Spain: Widespread blackouts impacted most of the country, including major cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, and Valencia. The outage disrupted transport (trains, metros, airports), traffic lights, telecommunications, and businesses. Power began gradually returning to regions like Catalonia, Aragon, the Basque Country, Galicia, Asturias, Navarre, Castile and León, Extremadura, and Andalusia by late afternoon.
Portugal: The entire country, including Lisbon, Porto, and Faro, experienced outages. The Lisbon Metro, trains, and traffic lights stopped, and Lisbon Airport closed temporarily. Hospitals and critical infrastructure relied on generators. Power restoration started in central Lisbon and other priority areas by evening.
France: Brief outages occurred in southern regions, particularly the French Basque Country and areas near Perpignan. Power was restored quickly, within minutes in some cases.
Andorra: Also affected, though specific details on the extent are limited.
The cause remains unclear, with reports pointing to a "very strong oscillation" in the European electrical grid, possibly originating in Spain’s network, leading to a disconnection from the broader European system. Speculation about cyberattacks was raised but dismissed by officials, with no conclusive evidence. Extreme temperature variations or a voltage imbalance are also cited as possible factors.
Additionally, earlier concerns about potential blackouts were noted in:
Austria: Preparations for possible blackouts began in 2021 due to rising gas prices and fuel supply issues.
Switzerland: Faces risks of power shortages by 2025, potentially lasting days, due to energy agreements with the EU and reliance on hydropower.
These outages are rare in Europe, with the 2025 event being the most significant in years. Grid operators are working to restore power, with estimates suggesting full restoration in Spain could take 6-10 hours from the outage’s onset." - grok
Today, millions of people across Portugal, Spain, and parts of southwestern France are experiencing unprecedented power cuts. Around 12:30 p.m. local time, a huge blackout spread across Portugal, bringing daily life to a standstill. Public transport systems have shut down, with metros in Lisbon and other areas grinding to a halt. Airports like Lisbon’s Humberto Delgado are running on backup generators, leading to major flight delays. Hospitals, water supplies, and mobile networks are all struggling under emergency systems. In cities, traffic lights are out, causing widespread gridlock and serious safety concerns.Authorities, including Portugal’s grid operator REN, have revealed that the outage was triggered by an extraordinary natural event, a rare atmospheric phenomenon linked to the extreme electromagnetic energy currently surrounding the Earth. Scientists describe it as "induced atmospheric vibration," which is essentially a massive temperature swing over central Spain that caused high-voltage power lines to oscillate uncontrollably. This vibration destabilised the interconnected European power grid, leading to cascading synchronisation failures.
What do we know about extreme solar flooding and environmental conditions? The two go hand in hand. What’s even more fascinating is that this atmospheric disturbance appears connected to the incredible electromagnetic activity our planet has been experiencing lately from intensified solar storms to unusual magnetic fluctuations. For now, the government is urging everyone to stay indoors, conserve energy where possible, and avoid non essential travel. The situation remains serious, but efforts are underway to stabilise the grid and return to normal life.But there’s a bigger picture here. What do we know about the magnetic fields of the Sun and the Earth? Both are getting weaker.
This means the Sun’s heliosphere, or what the spiritual community often refers to as the “veil” is lowering, allowing more cosmic background light data and powerful gamma emitted energies to reach us. As a double whammy, the Earth's magnetic field is also weakening, meaning our planet’s “veil” is thinning too, leaving Earth even more exposed to incoming light data that is turbo charging the wired feeling many are now experiencing. Going forward, you can expect to see more blackouts, more power outages, and more system failures across electrical and digital infrastructures. This is only the beginning of a larger transformation already underway. You can see old systems quite literally falling away in front of your very eyes as they struggle to maintain themselves within this new frequency.
Stay aware and stay prepared.
