'Because Mars is orbiting over the far side of the sun, Perseverance can see approaching sunspots more than a week before we do. Consider this your one-week warning: A big sunspot is coming,' Spaceweather shared in a blog post. I wouldn't write it off.
Solar activity caused problems in Montreal many years ago.
Could make for a nice aurora though, if it's not cloudy out.

I think it was in the ‘90 s when there were so many large sunspots, I could see them with the naked eye with the right fog or high cloud conditions. No big deal.
