I have this picture of a blushing flare, saying it really didn't mean it.An impulsive X1.1 solar flare was detected
To put the number in context, we're about halfway through this cycle.

CME Impact / Minor (G1) Storm |
June 4, 2024 @ 00:20 UTC |
It appears that a CME passed Earth around 23:00 UTC (Jun 3). A geomagnetic sudden impulse measuring 61 nT was recorded by the Boulder magnetometer. The minor (G1) geomagnetic storm threshold was reached at 23:59 UTC. Although the solar wind speed is not terribly high, the Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) has been shifting wildly from from a north to south pointing orientation. Enhanced activity including minor storming could persist over the next several hours. www.solarham.com |
Enhanced Solar Wind / Moderate Storm |
June 7, 2024 @ 12:10 UTC (UPDATED) |
Perhaps a weak transient passage detected this morning at 10:50 UTC (Jun 7). The solar wind speed increased by 50 km/s to above 400 km/s and the Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is currently trending south (-10nT). Active geomagnetic conditions (Kp4) possible in the hours ahead. Minor (G1) geomagnetic storming may be possible if the Bz holds south for a longer duration. Surprise Storm: The moderate (G2) geomagnetic storm threshold was reached at 14:56 UTC (Jun 7). This was following a prolonged period of southward Bz that reached -15 nT. It has since shifted back to the north, so this storm should be short lived. As always, further updates will be provided when necessary. Not good timing for aurora sky watchers across Europe and North America.. www.solarham.com |
X1.5 Solar Flare |
June 10, 2024 @ 12:30 UTC |
An X1.5 solar flare was produced by departing AR 3697 (3664) at 11:08 UTC (Jun 10). Despite shrinking in size, the region still remains potent as it turns behind the west limb. A coronal mass ejection (CME) is associated with the event and is heading to the west and away from Earth. Other than the radio blackout, no major impacts are expected. Perhaps in two weeks we will see whatever remains of the flare producing machine turn back into view once again. Bye for now! |

Bz South / Geomagnetic Storm Watch |
June 28, 2024 @ 02:00 UTC |
The Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) which is carried past Earth via the solar wind, has been pointing south the past few hours (-10nT). Active (Kp4) geomagnetic conditions will be likely with a chance for minor (G1) geomagnetic storming in the hours ahead. Aurora sky watchers at high latitudes should be alert should local light and weather conditions allow. WARNING: Geomagnetic K-index of 5 expected Valid From: 2024 Jun 28 0150 UTC Valid To: 2024 Jun 28 0600 UTC Warning Condition: Onset NOAA Scale: G1 - Minor |
Not really a surprise. But unexpected, yeah...
Yeah, oops. Sorry 'bout that. It's done.Make sure to add the run time per Dennis’ rules.
We will receive a glancing blow from a CME on July 3rd
I'm wondering if the solar flares cause symptoms in people; I have a young friend (27) who is very sensitive to a lot of things, and she felt as though she was frying on an electrical grid a few days when the flares first happened. Hub and I sometimes feel very weird lately and of course it could by many reasons; but if you have any info I'd love to know more about effects of solar storms on humans.Ever notice that those glancing blows produce some of the largest earthquakes? Three days before the Fukishima quake the Earth was dealt a glancing blow. Then within 24 hours a 7.0+ quake with no aftershocks, and then about three days later the monster quake happened! Same thing with the Sumatra and Chilean quakes.

Thank you! Are there any happening right now, do you know?yes, they do cause symptoms. for those with heart problems and seizure disorders the solar flares can be a problem.

Old Sunspot AR3664 Returned With Major Eruption
Impressive Farsided CME Observed |
July 23, 2024 @ 01:45 UTC (UPDATED) |
A fast moving, impressive full halo coronal mass ejection (CME) is now emerging in the latest imagery courtesy of LASCO C2. Based on additional imagery by the solar dynamics observatory (SDO), the event took place well beyond the west limb and is directed away from our planet. Despite being farsided, it is possible that we may still see a proton enhancement from this energetic event. Because the CME itself is directed away from Earth, it will not result in a geomagnetic storm. UPDATE: A minor (S1) radiation storm is now in progress as proton levels streaming past Earth gradually increase. |
Every time there is an X flare I get a bad headache
