As you can see if you scroll down the page (with many alerts of a similar magnitude in the last weeks), this is nothing unusual, solar disturbances of this level happen all the time.

We are getting closer to the peak of solar cycle 25 and increased solar activity is to be expected for the next few years:

Good for radio amateurs (simply speaking, more solar activity results in better radio propagation opportunities), potentially a risk for satellites and power grids.
