Solar flare reaching X1.0 erupted from southwest limb

Solar flare peaking as X1.04 erupted from Sun's southwest limb at 10:26 UTC on November 19, 2013. This event was observed around 'beta-delta' classified AR 1893. 

A Type II Radio Emission was registered at 10:24

Major X1.1 solar flare erupted from Earth facing AR 1890

Active Region 1890, located almost at the center of the disk, erupted with impulsive X1.1 solar flare at 05:14 UTC on November 10, 2013. A very bright Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) has been observed and the bulk mass seems to be heading well south of the

Another major solar flare erupted from AR 1890 which is now located almost at the center of the disk. The latest eruption event started 04:20, peaked at 04:26 as X1.1, and ended at 04:29 UTC. 

A Type II and IV Radio Emissions were associated with the event

New active region 1890 produced yet another strong impulsive flare. Powerful X3.3 solar flare erupted at 22:12 UTC on November 5, 2013. This sunspot group already produced 2 M-class and dozens of C-class solar flares in the past two days.

A major solar flare reaching X2.3 peaked at 21:54 UTC on Tuesday, October 29, 2013. This event originated from AR 1875 located on the west limb. A Type IV Radio Emission, indicating a strong coronal mass ejection, was associated with the event but since

Unsettled geomagnetic conditions expected as solar activity picks up

From the start of October, Sun erupted 28 M-class and 3 X-class solar flares, sending the material into the space.

Solar activity is still raising with major X1.0 flare on October 28, 2013 and four moderate M-class flares. While our geomagnetic field is
