A look back at the very active AR4274 which was keeping us entertained for the last two weeks. This is the X1.7 flare on 09 Nov. A huge plasma transfer is seen across a vast distance.

Apart from some minor sub-storms at high-latitudes, the geomagnetic situation also seems very quiet now.

During the last 24 hours the X-ray flux has dropped below the C-floor and it looks like we're in for a quiet period. Of the four sunspot regions on the Earth-facing disc, none are harbouring the ability to produce big flares.

Well, my space weather and radio propagation site is still working ok! It's just a shame that there's no notable space weather going on right now...

AR4274 wasn't finished, either! This morning, right on the west limb, it fired a minor M3.1 parting shot at 08h16 UT 16 Nov.

Last night Earth was hit by a minor geomagnetic storm which was actually the edge of the X4 flare on 14 Nov from AR4247. Had the CME been square on to Earth, we might have been facing another G4-G5 storm, and with Earth's magnetic field still weakened by the previous storm, the effect

Meanwhile a coronal hole will be sending a fast solar wind which will increase geomagnetic activity on Sunday 16 Nov. The NASA/ENLIL solar wind model also shows the CME from yesterday's X4 heading to the west and not affecting Earth at all.

GONG far-side solar imagery (also known as magic!) shows a strengthening active region (marked "P100") coming around the east limb in a few days.
Keeping fingers crossed it will provide some fireworks!
Far-side GONG acoustic images of the sun show a few possibly active regions waiting to come into view, but nothing else is looking as active as AR4274 was. Will it last another two weeks and come around to hit us again? Wait and see...

Description from NSO/GONG: The calibrated images show the line-of-sight magnetic field strength associated with the seismic signal in the original far-side maps. They are calibrated using the relationship found by Gonzalez Hernandez, I.; Hill, F.; Lindsey, C., 2007 ( Calibration of Seismic Signatures of Active Regions on the Far Side of the Sun, ApJ, 669, 1382). The images are an average of two daily maps calculated using 24-hour series of Dopplergrams. The averaging reduces the noise in the maps and allow to automatically highlight active region candidates. Only candidates with a probability of 70% or higher to appear in the front side are highlighted in red. (Please, note that sometimes, due to low dutycycle, false candidates will appear, these will not be highlighted as candidates)

The active region that's brought us four X-flares in 6 days is sending some parting M-flares as it approaches the west limb. We've had two M1.3 flares since 20h UT this evening.
Proton flux levels have increased, bringing back a minor S1 solar radiation storm.

An X4 flare is in the "strong R3" category.
A large CME can be seen in SOHO/Lasco C2 imagery lifting off to the west. A type II radio emission was also observed at the time of the flare. This CME is unlikely to cause geomagnetic storms on Earth.

Solar Flare Alert: A strong X4.0 flare from AR4274 peaked at 08h30 UT 14 Nov. An R3 radio blackout affected south-eastern Africa, Madagascar and Indian Ocean regions.
AR4274 is near the west limb so any CME would not be earth-directed.
Stay tuned for updates.

The are no big flare players on the solar disc once AR4274 rotates around the limb, so you can have a chance to recharge the camera batteries.

Geomagnetic conditions appear to have fully calmed down now. The solar radiation storm has also ended.
Aurora (as reported by amateur radio operators) this morning reached as far south as ~54Β°N. It reached down to ~38Β°N over N America.
Geomagnetic conditions are still active but are calming down.

The CME from the X5.1 flare on the 11th arrived last night just after 20h UT. It had a strong northward Bz (magnetic) component. This initially cancelled out the Earth's magnetic field, so the CME impact and following couple of hours were pretty dull until the Bz finally swung south j

Welcome!
Just a quick note to say that the solar storms over the last couple of days have brought me a lot of new followers on Mastodon, so just a note to them to say "welcome to the feed", and I hope you enjoy it!
A "reverse interplanetary shock" was observed at 21h42 with an IMF field strength of -23nT.
The squib is so far fairly damp. It's late and I'm off to bed. Follow live geomagnetic data on my website:

The solar radiation storm has now reduced to S1 (Minor) level at 23h20 UT.
Geomagnetic storm conditions are continuing with so far a few effects at high-latitudes (minor-moderate substorms at Kiruna).
