A major X6.3 solar flare erupted from Active Region 3590 at 22:34 UTC on February 22, 2024. The event started at 22:08 UTC and ended at 22:43.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is now the second X-class solar flare of the day (UTC), the third in 24 hours, the strongest solar flare of Solar Cycle 25, and the 26th<\/sup> strongest since 1996.<\/p>\n

It follows X1.8 at 23:07 UTC on February 21 and X1.7 at 06:32 UTC on February 22, 2024.<\/p>\n

A 10cm Radio Burst lasting 11 minutes and with peak flux of 240 sfu was 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

It appears a coronal mass ejection (CME) was produced but we are still waiting for reports of radio emissions that would confirm it.<\/p>\n

Radio frequencies were forecast to be most degraded over the Pacific Ocean at the time of the flare.<\/p>\n
