According to Polish media, the disruptions are very widespread: GPS signal disturbances extend from southern Sweden to Poland, Iltalehti reports.
According to Polish media, the Polish Aviation Agency warned pilots for the first time on December 25. The phenomenon was also confirmed by the airline Finnair. According to the company, this does not affect the safety of the flight.
The Polish Agency for Electronic Communications cannot explain the cause of the GPS interference, but experts suspect that the weather is to blame. “Our experts have found a connection between media information and weather conditions,” agency spokesman Witold Tomaszewski told news channel TVN24. In the next few days it will be clear, he added, whether this is also the real cause of the unrest.

In the post, Wiseman claims that while he is not an expert in space weather, he does not think the disturbances could have been caused by recent solar storms. He also noted that “Poland’s performance suggests that this is not Russia.”
