[quote:Spittin'Cesium:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzM2ODE5NDI2XzIzN0I5MzAy] Solar Stats. Courtesy of Solen - '[b]Recent activity The geomagnetic field was quiet to active on March 21. Solar wind speed at SOHO ranged between 371 and 548 km/s under the influence of CME effects. Solar flux measured at 20h UTC on 2.8 GHz was 106.1 (increasing 6.5 over the last solar rotation). The background x-ray flux was at the class B6 level. At midnight UTC the visible solar disk had 9 spotted active regions (in 2K resolution SDO images). Region 11692 [N08W83] rotated partly out of view and was the only AR displaying any activity of interest. C5+ flare: M1.6 long duration event peaking at 22:04 UTC Region 11694 [N13W74] decayed slowly and quietly. Region 11695 [N09W61] was quiet and stable. Region 11700 [S12E07] was quiet and stable. New region 11702 [N08W22] emerged on March 20 and developed further on March 21 when it was numbered by SWPC. Spotted regions not numbered by SWPC: S2299 [N18W11] reemerged with a penumbra spot. S2306 [N10W66] was quiet and stable. S2307 [S25W46] developed slowly and quitly. New region S2309 [N00E03] emerged near the center of the visible disk with a penumbra spot[/b]'http://www.solen.info/solar/ :sun::hf: :shk: [/quote]

An update as to the arrival time of this CME will be added once all data has been reviewed.
The X9.3 flare is the 14th largest X flare ever recorded!
On September 4th we had 7 M flares from fast growing sunspot 2673, with at least 1 large dense Earth directed CME. This CME will arrive late in the day on Wednesday September 6th.
There is now a 25% chance for X flares over the next 24hrs & 71% chance for M flares
We have a Long Duration M2.4 Solar Flare starting
01:05 UTC July 14th 2017
There was a full halo CME observed with this solar flare. The associated CME is Earth Directed. See discussion on the last page for all updates!
