I'm a little confused by this Chart [link to www.solen.info] is it saying Southern Max and Northern Max are done!?
 Quoting: Spittin'Cesium


According to their calculations yes. However, solar stuff is an imperfect science (of course). This could be a double peak like last cycle.

I figured ;) - I mean I don't think there's a science that IS perfect!

What a puny cycle this is (of course this was anticipated). Really DOES look like it's already peaked. I like snow so maybe that'll help my odds of getting more snow (I'm in the DC area in the USA).

AR1656 is obviously a Beta region and larger than 0010 millionths. I suppose it's also growing. AR1657 can't be found by me, so I guess it's invisible now. At 1100 millionths, 1654 may be the largest active region of Cycle 24. If not, it has gotta be close to it. If I find time I'll check back in the old sunspot archives to see.

NOAA Discussion:

.24 hr Summary...
Solar activity has been moderate. Region 1654 (N08E31) is the most
threatening region on the solar disk. 1654 has shown slight growth
throughout the period and maintains a beta-gamma magnetic configuration
with an estimated area of 1,100 millionths.
1654 produced two M-class
flares over the past 24 hours, the first was an M1 event at 11/0911 UTC
with an associated type II radio sweep of 537 km/s and a type IV, and
the second was an M1/2f event at 11/1507 UTC. An impulsive Tenflare was
observed at 11/1845 UTC, and peaked at 330 solar flux units. Region
1652 (N19W00) also showed slight growth and maintains a beta-gamma
magnetic configuration,
but has not produced an event during this
period. Newly-numbered Region 1656 (N22E52) is an Axx type Alpha group
while newly-numbered Region 1657 (S17E23) is a Cro type Beta group. We
are currently awaiting LASCO and STEREO imagery to determine if a
possible coronal mass ejection associated with the 11/0911 UTC M1 flare
has an earthward component.

.Forecast...
Solar activity is expected to be at moderate levels (R1 radio blackouts)
over the next three days (12 - 14 Jan) with Region 1654 being the most
likely culprit.

[link to www.swpc.noaa.gov]

AR1652 DID produce an event because I saw it! Lockheed logs a C4.5 flare from 1650 in the southern hemisphere, but their flare movie for that time period focuses on 1654. Looks like the Pros are off their game also, haha.

Space Weather Update:

We had 1 minute 10cm Radio Burst from the M-flare.
Space Weather Message Code: SUM10R
Serial Number: 571
Issue Time: 2013 Jan 11 1859 UTC

SUMMARY: 10cm Radio Burst
Begin Time: 2013 Jan 11 1845 UTC
Maximum Time: 2013 Jan 11 1846 UTC
End Time: 2013 Jan 11 1846 UTC
Duration: 1 minutes
Peak Flux: 330 sfu
Latest Penticton Noon Flux: 174 sfu
Description: A 10cm radio burst indicates that the electromagnetic burst associated with a solar flare at the 10cm wavelength was double or greater than the initial 10cm radio background. This can be indicative of significant radio noise in association with a solar flare. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications.

SOLAR BREEZE PICKING UP- from NOAA Discussion again:

Solar Wind
.24 hr Summary...
Solar wind speed, as measured at the ACE spacecraft, has steadily
increased from initial values of approximately 300 km/s to end of day
values of approximately 380 km/s. The Phi angle remained predominately
positive (away) throughout the past 24 hours. The Bt component of the
interplanetary magnetic field ranged from 2 nT to 8 nT while the Bz
component ranged from 4 to -8 nT. The steady increase in solar wind
speed and a positive Phi angle are indicative of an impending coronal
hole high speed stream.


.Forecast...
Solar wind speeds are expected to continue to increase through Day 1 (12
Jan) and plateau on Day 2 (13 Jan) with the onset of a coronal hole high
speed stream. Solar wind speeds are expected to begin to decrease
gradually starting on Day 3 (14 Jan) as the effects from the coronal
hole high speed stream wane.

After nearly 4 Hours of no Updates [link to ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov] is back again,still showing a bumpy SW/Density and Temp.

Thank Hugh for clearing up the 'Are we due for arrival' question earlier - It was mentioned that it looked like a incoming CHS.

Re: SOLAR WATCH * Huge X8.2 Flare Sept. 10, 2017! (Updated Daily)
new solen update has been issued

Last major update issued on January 12, 2013 at 06:00 UTC.
Region 11652 [N19W02] decayed in the trailing spot section while penumbral area increased in the leading spot section. The region has polarity intermixing and could produce a minor M class flare

Region 11654 [N08E33] developed a weak magnetic delta structure in a small penumbra in the southwestern section. Further M class flaring is likely, a major flare is possible. C5+ Flares: C9.2 at 06:14, M1.2 at 09:11, M1.0/1F at 15:07 UTC.

New region 11656 [N22E55] rotated into view on January 9 and was numbered by SWPC 2 days later as it developed penumbra on both polarities.

New region 11657 [S17E24] emerged on January 8 and got its NOAA number 3 days later. The region developed early on January 11, then decayed

AR1654 now measured at 1100 Millionths! I told ya it was growing....oh, and NOAA doesn't see a Delta either.

AR1656 is obviously a Beta region and larger than 0010 millionths. I suppose it's also growing. AR1657 can't be found by me, so I guess it's invisible now. At 1100 millionths, 1654 may be the largest active region of Cycle 24. If not, it has gotta be close to it. If I find time I'll check back in the old sunspot archives to see.

NOAA Discussion:

.24 hr Summary...
Solar activity has been moderate. Region 1654 (N08E31) is the most
threatening region on the solar disk. 1654 has shown slight growth
throughout the period and maintains a beta-gamma magnetic configuration
with an estimated area of 1,100 millionths.
1654 produced two M-class
flares over the past 24 hours, the first was an M1 event at 11/0911 UTC
with an associated type II radio sweep of 537 km/s and a type IV, and
the second was an M1/2f event at 11/1507 UTC. An impulsive Tenflare was
observed at 11/1845 UTC, and peaked at 330 solar flux units. Region
1652 (N19W00) also showed slight growth and maintains a beta-gamma
magnetic configuration,
but has not produced an event during this
period. Newly-numbered Region 1656 (N22E52) is an Axx type Alpha group
while newly-numbered Region 1657 (S17E23) is a Cro type Beta group. We
are currently awaiting LASCO and STEREO imagery to determine if a
possible coronal mass ejection associated with the 11/0911 UTC M1 flare
has an earthward component.

.Forecast...
Solar activity is expected to be at moderate levels (R1 radio blackouts)
over the next three days (12 - 14 Jan) with Region 1654 being the most
likely culprit.

AR1652 DID produce an event because I saw it! Lockheed logs a C4.5 flare from 1650 in the southern hemisphere, but their flare movie for that time period focuses on 1654. Looks like the Pros are off their game also, haha.

Thank Hugh!

1652 did Flare and can be seen around half way into this movie [link to sdodata.oma.be]

1657 is what was known as S2164(I think)and is to the South-West of 1654 - It's location on the 10th was S16E37,though I may be mistaken : )

Hey, Sir Cesium, NOAA gave the coordinates of 23 degrees EAST longitude. You may find a faint speck there, but I found no Beta region.
 Quoting: Hugh M Eye


Ahaaa!

I see,I think we have this one cleared up -

'New region 11657 [S17E24] emerged on January 8 and got its NOAA number 3 days later. The region developed early on January 11, then decayed' [link to www.solen.info] .

Strange.
 Quoting: Spittin'Cesium


So it appears 1657 was the one I first mentioned above(S2164) [link to www.solen.info] There she be!

AR1652 is now directly Earth-facing and capable of producing strong flares and/or CMEs.

AR1654 has grown slightly in the leading section. The trailing spot has morphed a bit and resembles a pentagon with a rough triangle umbra.

damn.... what time of the year does earth go over there? well... I guess the sun spins also as we go around....... hmmmmmm anyone know how long the sun takes to do one rotation on its axis? earth is 365... but the sun spins the same direction we go i think? so many questions.... gonna go on google :P

SIZE MATTERS:AR1654 still has a little growing to do to take top honors in the bigness competition. However I only found two regions bigger in 2012. On July 13, AR1520 was a bloated Gigantor at 1460 Millionths; and on March 8, AR1429 grew to 1270 Millionths. Both of these were classified Beta-Gamma-Delta and both produced X-flares. There may be one or two others but I don't think so. ARs 1476 and 1515 were big, but less than 1100 millionths big.
