Following the M6.7 solar flare from Active Region 3559 on January 29, 2024, enhanced proton levels were recorded, with the greater than 10 MeV reaching the S2 \u2013 Moderate threshold and greater than 100 MeV peaking at 0.67 pfu. The storm is now subsiding.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The aftermath of the M6.7 solar flare that erupted from Active Region 3559 has resulted in enhanced proton levels in space. This event, which began at approximately 04:55 UTC on January 29, has led to notable increases in proton flux at two energy levels: greater than 10 MeV and greater than 100 MeV.<\/p>\n

Specifically, the greater than 10 MeV protons reached the S2 \u2013 Moderate threshold at 17:40 UTC on January 29, peaking at 137 pfu (particle flux units). Meanwhile, the greater than 100 MeV protons peaked at a maximum of 0.67 pfu before declining back to background-like levels.<\/p>\n

In addition to the proton flux, the greater than 2 MeV electron flux was observed at normal to moderate levels in 24 hours to 12:30 UTC on January 30, indicating a heightened state of space weather activity following the solar flare.<\/p>\n
