October 24, 2024 @ 04:25 UTC (UPDATED)"A returning sunspot region now reassigned AR 3869 just produced a strong X3.3 solar flare at 03:57 UTC (Oct 24). A type II radio emission with an estimated velocity of 610 km/s was recorded. This event will be associated with a coronal mass ejection (#CME) based on dimming following the event. Because the flare location is located off the east limb, it will be directed mostly away from Earth. A further update will be provided once coronagraph imagery is updated.
"CME Update #2: Despite the X3.3 solar flare being located close to the southeast limb, the resulting halo coronal mass ejection (CME) appears to be wide enough to include an Earth directed component. If so, a passage past our planet will be possible within 48-72 hours. A further update will be provided later today once an official tracking model is available.
"A minor (G1) geomagnetic storm watch was officially added for Saturday, October 26th. The edge of the X3.3/Halo CME is expected to deliver a glancing blow to our geomagnetic field. A prolonged period of southward Bz following a potential passage could increase the chances of storming and visible #aurora at higher latitudes. Stay tuned this weekend for further updates."

Another #XFlare / Severe #GeomagneticStorm Watch
via #SolarHam
October 9, 2024 @ 15:50 UTC (UPDATED)
"A moderate (S2) to Strong (S3) radiation storm remains in progress following the energetic X-Flare produced by #AR3848.
"A severe (G4) geomagnetic storm watch was officially added beginning tomorrow when the fast moving CME associated with the flare event is expected to sweep past Earth. While there are no guarantees, a repeat of the geomagnetic storm and aurora event back in May could be on the horizon.
"Oh... and an impulsive X1.4 solar flare was observed around departing AR 3842 at 15:47 UTC (Oct 9)."

Major Solar Flare Alert (X7.1)
October 1, 2024 @ 21:15 UTC"The second strongest detectable solar flare of the current solar cycle 25 was just observed around Earth facing #AR3842 peaking at 22:20 UTC (Oct 1). A type II radio emission with an estimated velocity of 1246 km/s was recorded. Stay tuned to SolarHam.com for the latest details regarding a possible Earth directed #CME."

Major #SolarFlare and #CME
September 14, 2024 @ 19:05 UTC"A major X4.5 solar flare was produced by #AR3825 on September 14th, 2024 @ 15:29 UTC. The event was associated with a fast moving halo coronal mass ejection (CME). Although the eruption is directed mostly to the east, the western flank of the plasma cloud does appear Earth directed. A passage past Earth will be possible within 48 hours. I would expect a #GeomagneticStormWatch to be added later today for #September16th. Stay tuned for the latest updates."

X1.3 Flare and CME Likely
August 8, 2024 @ 19:35 UTC"An X1.3 solar flare was detected around #AR3777 at 19:35 UTC. A type II radio emission with an estimated velocity of 1026 km/s was recorded. Coronal dimming is already evident meaning a coronal mass ejection (#CME) is likely. Due to the event location facing Earth, it will more than likely be directed towards our planet. More details to follow."

Near X-Flare
June 23, 2024 @ 14:50 UTC
"Is our old pal #AR3664 (3697 and now 3723) still active?"Of course it is. A near #XFlare (M9.3) was detected at 13:01 UTC (Jun 23). The flare itself was fairly rapid, so a coronal mass ejection (CME) is likely not associated. We will get a better at the returning flare champion over the next few days.
"Now back for the third time, AR 3664 (3697) is returning into view from off the farside of the Sun. This region was first assigned 3664 on May 1st and would go on to produce non stop X-Flares and the resulting eruptions were responsible for the extreme #geomagnetic storm on May 10-11. It would reappear again on May 28th and was reassigned AR 3697 and would produce additional major solar flares. What will it have in store for us this time around? Stay tuned to find out."
