[/quote] WRONG! Look it up, Cesium. You should know better...tsk...tsk. [/quote] Wtf!? So I did'nt include all of what it is an indication of..remember Hugh Geomagnetic Storms allow more harmful Solar Radiation to breach our protective Atmospheres,so for Humans it representing the likelyhood of more SR reaching the body is a decent enough explantion for now. Feel free to include all variables. KP of 5 would equal a G1 Geomagnetic Storm KP 9 equal to a G5etc,perhaps I should have mentioned that also but it is obvious. As it pertains to Humans the higher the Geomagnetic Storm the more likely that harmful Radiation can penetrate our Atmospheres. You petty bugger. [/quote] It has nothing to do with UV radiation. It's a measure of the global MAGNETIC FIELD deviation. Curse you, Bugger, for making me link to wikipodia. We have a lot of new readers here and I feel duty-bound to give out correct info. PEACE. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-index :peace: [/quote] So you could'nt(yourself)extrapolate that the higher the KP the more chance of harmful Solar Radiation reaching our Bodies!? UV is just one of the many types of potentially harmful Solar Radiation. For instance,if there was a KP Reading of 5 or higher I would,Esp. on a clear Sunny Day reduce my exposure to the Sun Rays..would'nt you? Quote, 'It's a measure of the global MAGNETIC FIELD deviation' Yes,that is otherwise known as an indication of Geomagnetic Storms as the quoted comment above says. But anyway. [/quote]

We have just had another huge X flare measuring at a X8.2 originating from sunspot 2673
On September 11, 2017
[

]
ALL flares recorded ARE Earth facing regardless of where the sunspot is located
-----------
CME FROM X9 HAS ARRIVED!
Issue Time: 2017 Sep 07 2242 UTC
WARNING: Geomagnetic Sudden Impulse expected
Valid From: 2017 Sep 07 2255 UTC
Valid To: 2017 Sep 07 2330 UTC
IP Shock Passage Observed: 2017 Sep 07 2229 UTC
On September 6th we have had 2 X flares! A X2.2 at 09:10 utc & a secend larger flare just a few hours later of X9.3 at 12:02 utc. There is a large widespread Earth directed CME associated with this latest X flare as we can see here

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!
