I'm not especially knowledgeable regarding space-weather....but there have been lots of large solar flares hitting earth recently. Do such flares increase heat reaching earth?
Seems like if the energy burst was large enough to disrupt satellites and power grid, it would be enough to warm ambient air?

That's a good theory, but I think the atmosphere absorbs most of this energy without noticeable temperature changes. https://spaceweatherarchive.com/2019/09/18/why-solar-flares-arent-heating-the-earth/
