Solar activity was at High levels over the previous daywith sunspot region 11598 producing an X-class flare peaking at 0317UT with an associated weak TypeII radio burst and several C class flares. A CME associated with one of the flares captured by the STEREO spacecraft. Further M flare activity from region 1598 is likely over the next few days with a chance of isolated X flares.
Region 1598 is still growingkeeping its beta-delta magnetic configuration. As it is now approaching the solar central meridian, any CME spawned by this region will be Earth-directed in the coming 6 to 7 days. |
