Wouldnt affect much, relax!
Cosmo/Cosmic rays only hamper your electronic devices for a temporary period (the time device is exposed). So if you encounter any prob with your cellphone, laptop, pc, tv. Just restart it!!

Think of the satelites which faces these kind of problems frequently... :)

Cosmic rays always enter the earth atmosphere 24/7/365. They are however mostly stopped by the upper layers of atmosphere. The effect on computer equipments is minimal if any and with a very low probability. The article you pointed to doesn't indicate anything about the timings you mentioned.
