Newly assigned sunspot region 3801 produced an M3.4 solar flare at 03:41 UTC (Aug 23). SolarHam.com

AR 3800 located high in latitude in the southeast quadrant is currently producing low level M-Flares. This region is showing steady growth today and will be monitored for additional activity.

AR 3800 is suddenly a bit of a firecracker. This M5.1 flare was detected at 20:12 UTC (Aug 23). SolarHam.com

A relatively weak shock passage was detected this morning around 07:30 UTC (Aug 27). So far the impact on our geomagnetic field appears to be minimal. Geomagnetic storming is not currently expected. A further update will be provided should conditions change.

The Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field has tipped into a south pointing position (-12nT). Active geomagnetic conditions (Kp4) will be possible. Minor (G1) geomagnetic storming may also be possible depending on how long it remains in this state.

The Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) has been tipped south for the past few hours. Active (Kp4) geomagnetic conditions is being observed with a chance for minor (G1) storming at higher latitudes should this condition persist.

Solar activity is back up to moderate levels. AR 3806 just produced a quick M3.8 solar flare at 12:20 UTC (Aug 30). SolarHam.com

An eruption currently measuring as a mid level M-Flare was observed off the SE limb beginning around 12:00 UTC (Sept 1). A CME will be associated and should be directed away from Earth. Full update via SolarHam.com

X-Rays look to have maxed out at M5.5 (9/1 @ 13:21 UTC). A bright CME is now becoming visible in the latest coronagraph imagery.

Another look at the large CME, this time by LASCO C3. SolarHam.com

Large CME observed Tuesday morning. This looks to be the result of a farsided event and is not Earth directed. SolarHam.com

Another large farsided CME observed. Although LASCO imagery is currently not up to date, STEREO Ahead captures a fast moving, full halo CME leaving the Sun. Again because this is happened on the other side of the Sun, the plasma cloud will be directed away from our planet.

Large CME observed earlier today looks to be the result of an X2 solar flare off the farside of the Sun. Another similar flare took place on Tuesday as well. Full update via SolarHam.com

A long duration eruption was observed this morning to the south of AR 3813 beginning around 06:15 UTC (Sep 7). A CME was produced and so far appears to be heading mostly south of the Sun-Earth line. A further update will be provided whenever necessary. SolarHam.com

A filament eruption was observed early Sunday morning in the northwest quadrant. The CME is predicted to reach Earth by Sept 10 and a moderate (G2) storm watch was added. Full details via SolarHam.com

Another strong farsided CME event observed. Also proton levels are nearing the minor (S1) radiation storm threshold, possibly related to an earlier CME off the west limb. Full update via SolarHam.com

A minor eruption was just observed around AR 3814 and newly assigned AR 3822. A wave of plasma is evident, so somewhat of a CME may be associated. Another update to follow whenever possible. SolarHam.com

NOAA/SWPC are calling for the CME observed early Tuesday morning to pass Earth by Sept 12th. Moderate (G2) storming will again be possible. Aurora sky watchers should be alert during the next three nights.
