Coronal mass ejection arrival
A coronal mass ejection has arrived at our planet. This is likely the arrival of the coronal mass ejection that was launched during a filament eruption in combination with an M3 solar flare two days ago.
M6.3 flare, double CME impact expected
Sunspot region 3229 does it again this time with an M6.2 solar flare that peaked yesterday at 19:44 UTC. This long duration solar flare was again highly eruptive just like the M3.7 solar flare. A minor S1 solar radiation storm followed as a result of this eruption which has minor impacts on HF radio communications at high latitudes.
