Several CME's were observed associated to the flares mentioned above. The M7.1 event yesterday was accompanied by a partial halo CME observed in SOHO/LASCO starting from 12h48. It speed was estimated to be around 1050 km/s based on the STEREO coronograph data. Other CME's observed by STEREO A and B and SOHO/LASCO can be associated with the M3.0, M5.8 and M1.0 flares yesterday as well as with the M4.4, C7.9 (peak time, 03h31, Cat 82, NOAA 13020), M7.4 and M3.1 flares today. PROBA2/SWAP and SDO/AIA data show a clear EUV wave associated with the M7 flare today. As none of the source regions of these CME's are in the center of the solar disk, we only expect possible glancing blows fram these events.

The GOES proton flux level remains elevated (>10MeV) and is further increased by the current solar activity. A shock is observed in the solar wind parameters measured by ACE around 11 UT this morning, possibly related to the CME associated with the X flare on September 22. The total magnetic filed strength jumped to 10 nT, while the solar wind speed increased to 380 km/s. Current geomagnetic conditions are quiet. We expect them to increase to unsettled to active starting late this evening as a result of al the CME's in the past hours.
