[quote:Simple27:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzk1ODYxNzU5XzI5N0Y1NEE3] [b]Space Weather Update / Storm in Progress August 17, 2022 @ 19:00 UTC (UPDATED)[/b] A busy Space Weather Day today! A minor (G1) geomagnetic storm is now in progress. Solar wind enhancements including a southward Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field could help fuel things further. A reminder that a watch for moderate (G2) and strong (G3) conditions will also be in effect should things escalate further during the next 24-48 hours. Aurora sky watchers at middle to high latitudes should be alert once dark outside. [b]UPDATE:[/b] The Moderate (G2) Storm threshold was reached at 20:08 UTC (Aug 17). Visible aurora will be likely at middle to high latitudes once dark outside. [b][color=red]ALERT:[/color][/b] Geomagnetic K-index of 6 Threshold Reached: 2022 Aug 17 2008 UTC Synoptic Period: 1800-2100 UTC Active Warning: Yes NOAA Scale: G2 - Moderate Eruptive flare activity around AR 3078 continues on Wednesday. An M2.0 solar flare was observed at 13:45 UTC (Aug 17). This looks to be responsible for a bright coronal mass ejection (CME) that so far is headed mostly south of the Sun-Earth line. A further update will be provided once complete coronagraph imagery is available. [imgur]https://imgur.com/0gdXsv0[/imgur] https://www.solarham.net/ [/quote]

ALL flares recorded ARE Earth facing regardless of where the sunspot is located

An update as to the arrival time of this CME will be added once all data has been reviewed.
The X9.3 flare is the 14th largest X flare ever recorded!
On September 4th we had 7 M flares from fast growing sunspot 2673, with at least 1 large dense Earth directed CME. This CME will arrive late in the day on Wednesday September 6th.
There is now a 25% chance for X flares over the next 24hrs & 71% chance for M flares
We have a Long Duration M2.4 Solar Flare starting
01:05 UTC July 14th 2017
There was a full halo CME observed with this solar flare. The associated CME is Earth Directed. See discussion on the last page for all updates!
