Two Sunspots re-emerge, stare at Earth, ready to send strong geomagnetic storms again. How will they affect us?

geomagnetic storms in 20 years affecting the telecommunication lines on the Earth and spreading the Northern Lights as far as the Southern US, the Sun regions are back. They are back with a vengeance, as they are facing Earth, putting the planet in the line of fire once again. According to the 'Fox Weather', Sunspot regions 3663 and 3664 are staring at the Earth once again, though with changed names. They have emerged on the other side of the Sun and have been given new names. The old region 3663 has been named 3691, while the old region 3664 is now called 3697.

He also said that the small ones can be seen as they show up, and then they go away because the magnetic field isn't that strong or intensifies rather quickly. He added that the larger groups last well as the Sun
