The event started at 03:54 and ended at 05:15 UTC.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A Type II Radio Emission with an estimated velocity of 512 km\/s was associated with the event. Type II emissions occur in association with eruptions on the Sun and typically indicate a coronal mass ejection (CME) is associated with a flare event.<\/p>\n<p>A 10cm Radio Burst (tenflare) with a peak flux of 2 700 sfu and lasting 36 minutes was also associated with the event. A 10cm radio burst indicates that the electromagnetic burst associated with a solar flare at the 10cm wavelength was double or greater than the initial 10cm radio background. This can be indicative of significant radio noise in association with a solar flare. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications.<\/p>\n<p>Radio frequencies were forecast to be most degraded over Australia and far SE Asia.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"perfmatters-lazy-youtube\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j2JguC30Shc\" data-id=\"j2JguC30Shc\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\" onclick=\"perfmattersLazyLoadYouTube(this);\">\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-perfmatters-preload=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/j2JguC30Shc\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" nopin=\"nopin\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"M6.7 solar flare erupts from Region 3559, producing S1 - Minor solar radiation storm\" width=\"1110\" height=\"624\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j2JguC30Shc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"M6.7 solar flare erupts from Region 3559, producing S1 - Minor solar radiation storm\" width=\"1110\" height=\"624\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j2JguC30Shc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" alt=\"goes-x-ray-flux-1-minute m6.7 solar flare january 29 2024\" class=\"wp-image-180151 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/goes-x-ray-flux-1-minute-m6.7-solar-flare-january-29-2024-1024x576.webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/goes-x-ray-flux-1-minute-m6.7-solar-flare-january-29-2024-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/goes-x-ray-flux-1-minute-m6.7-solar-flare-january-29-2024-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/goes-x-ray-flux-1-minute-m6.7-solar-flare-january-29-2024-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/goes-x-ray-flux-1-minute-m6.7-solar-flare-january-29-2024.webp 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/goes-x-ray-flux-1-minute-m6.7-solar-flare-january-29-2024-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"goes-x-ray-flux-1-minute m6.7 solar flare january 29 2024\" class=\"wp-image-180151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/goes-x-ray-flux-1-minute-m6.7-solar-flare-january-29-2024-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/goes-x-ray-flux-1-minute-m6.7-solar-flare-january-29-2024-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/goes-x-ray-flux-1-minute-m6.7-solar-flare-january-29-2024-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/goes-x-ray-flux-1-minute-m6.7-solar-flare-january-29-2024.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"836\" alt=\"sunspots on january 29 2024 sdo hmi\" class=\"wp-image-180147 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/sunspots-on-january-29-2024-sdo-hmi.webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/sunspots-on-january-29-2024-sdo-hmi.webp 850w, https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/sunspots-on-january-29-2024-sdo-hmi-300x295.webp 300w, https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/sunspots-on-january-29-2024-sdo-hmi-768x755.webp 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"836\" src=\"https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/sunspots-on-january-29-2024-sdo-hmi.webp\" alt=\"sunspots on january 29 2024 sdo hmi\" class=\"wp-image-180147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/sunspots-on-january-29-2024-sdo-hmi.webp 850w, https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/sunspots-on-january-29-2024-sdo-hmi-300x295.webp 300w, https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/sunspots-on-january-29-2024-sdo-hmi-768x755.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sunspots on January 29, 2024.
