A major solar flare measuring X1.3 erupted from newly numbered Active Region 4482 on the southeast limb at 20:41 UTC on July 4, 2026. A coronal mass ejection (CME) was produced, but due to the location of the source region, an Earth-directed component is unlikely.
A coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with the June 30, 2026, solar flare reached Earth on July 3, triggering a geomagnetic disturbance that intensified to G3 – Strong storm levels early July 4.
Multiple coronal mass ejections linked to repeated eruptions from Active Region 4479 are forecast to reach Earth in stages from July 3 through July 6, 2026. NOAA’s official forecast calls for G1–G2 geomagnetic storm conditions on July 3 and 4, while later CME arrivals remain under model assessment.
An X1.1 solar flare from Active Region 4479 produced a full-halo coronal mass ejection (CME) on June 30, 2026, prompting SWPC to issue a G2 – Moderate Geomagnetic Storm Watch for July 3.
A strong solar flare measuring M5.8 erupted from Active Region 4475 located at the west limb at 12:57 UTC on June 30, 2026. The event started at 12:37 and ended at 13:23 UTC.
A strong M6.8 solar flare erupted from Active Region 4473 on June 21, 2026, becoming the strongest flare produced by the region so far and the strongest since X1.0 on June 3. The event began at 19:17 UTC, reached maximum intensity at 19:29 UTC, and ended at 19:35 UTC.
A coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with an M1.8 solar flare from Region 4461 is forecast to arrive around midday UTC on June 8. Forecast calls for G1 – Minor to G2 – Moderate storming on June 8 and early June 9, and isolated G3 – Strong periods on June 8.
A G3 – Strong Geomagnetic Storm Watch is in effect for June 4 and 5, 2026, following three significant solar flares from Active Region 4455. NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) issued the watch at 14:52 UTC on June 3 after Earth-directed CME components were identified from two eruptions earlier in the day.
An X1.0 solar flare erupted from Active Region 4455 at 11:28 UTC on June 3, 2026, producing R3 – Strong radio blackout conditions on the sunlit side of Earth. This is the third major flare from the same region today, following M9.3 at 01:36 UTC and M7.7 at 07:00 UTC.
A strong solar flare measuring M9.3 at its peak erupted from Active Region 4455 at 01:36 UTC on June 3, 2026, producing an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection (CME). The event started at 01:22 UTC and ended at 01:43 UTC. At 07:00 UTC, another strong solar flare — M7.7 — erupted from the same region and produced another Earth-directed CME.
