Multiple M-class solar flares and CMEs were recorded on December 24, 2023. Forecasts indicate potential geomagnetic disturbances with a grazing blow expected late on December 27, 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Solar activity has increased to moderate levels, marked by several M-class flares over the last 24 hours leading up to 00:30 UTC on December 25, 2023. <\/p>\n

The flares erupted mainly from Region 3529, including an M2.9 flare at 11:18 UTC on December 24 and an M2.6 flare at 16:49 UTC. Another notable M1.1 flare was detected from a region just beyond the southeast limb. Despite the flaring, most spot groups remained stable, with Region 3530 showing signs of growth.<\/p>\n

Additionally, an approximately 22-degree filament eruption centered near N48W35 began lifting at 09:20 UTC on December 24, leading to a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) observed in SOHO\/LASCO coronagraph imagery by 12:24 UTC. Initial analyses suggest a possible grazing impact from this CME by late on December 27. Another CME of interest, resulting from a filament eruption near S20E48 at 14:38 UTC, was observed off the southwest limb. Analysis of this event is still in progress.<\/p>\n
