On April 23, 2024, a significant solar event occurred involving four simultaneous explosions on the Sun, characterized by the eruption of three sunspots and a magnetic filament. This unique activity spanned hundreds of thousands of kilometers and reached a combined X-ray output of M3.4, marking it as a notable instance of sympathetic solar flares.
Solar wind conditions became enhanced beginning at 04:13 UTC on April 19, 2024, due to coronal mass ejection (CME) impact, resulting in unexpected G3 – Strong geomagnetic storming just before 20:00 UTC.
Solar wind parameters in 24 hours to 00:30 UTC on April 17, 2024, continued to be enhanced by a passing coronal mass ejection (CME) which impacted Earth around 17:25 UTC on April 15 (launched from the Sun on April 12). Two more CMEs, produced on April 14 and 15, are expected to make a combined impact at around 00:00 UTC on April 18.
A G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm watch is in effect for April 14 and 15, 2024 due to two incoming coronal mass ejections (CMEs) — launched on April 11 and 12, combined with coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) influences.
A long-duration solar flare measuring M9.4 erupted from Active Region 3615 (beta-gamma-delta) at 21:16 UTC on March 30, 2024. The event started at 21:01 and ended at 22:15 UTC.
A strong X1.1 solar flare erupted from Active Region 3615 at 20:56 UTC on March 28, 2024. The event started at 20:50 and ended at 21:01 UTC.
A strong solar flare measuring M6.1 erupted from Active Region 3615 (beta-gamma-delta) at 15:56 UTC on March 28, 2024. The event started at 15:40 and ended at 16:03 UTC. This is the second M6+ solar flare of the day after M7.1 at 06:29 UTC.
A strong solar flare measuring M7.1 erupted from Active Region 3615 at 06:29 UTC on March 28, 2024. The event started at 06:16 UTC and ended at 06:36.
Coronal mass ejection (CME) produced by the X1.1 solar flare at 01:33 UTC on March 23, 2024, is expected to impact Earth late March 24 or early March 25, producing G2 – Moderate to G3 – Strong geomagnetic storming.
A major, long-duration solar flare measuring X1.1 erupted from Active Region 3614 at 01:33 UTC on March 23, 2024. The event started at 00:58 and ended at 02:21 UTC. A halo CME was produced, with impacts to Earth likely late March 25 or early March 26.
