Hi
I don't know how relevant it is but the military have known for a while that sun spots (flares) will affect radio trasnmissions.
Sunspots and flares affect radio, yes. However that doesn't appear to be in any way related to the original post, so I wouldn't confuse the issue. If anyone is particularly interested, a substantially technical explanation of the impact on radio can be found here: http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/propagation/sun/solar_flares.php http://www.nr6ca.org/sun.html I think the most likely explanation in this case is simply temperature related...
