A major solar flare measuring X1.0 erupted from Active Region 3664 at 05:09 UTC on May 8, 2024. The event started at 04:37 and ended at 05:32 UTC. This is the second X-class solar flare of the day, following another X1.0 at 01:41 UTC.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Type II Radio Emission with an estimated velocity of 1 152 km\/s was registered at 05:01 UTC, suggesting a coronal mass ejection (CME) was produced. <\/p>\n

A Type IV Radio Emission was registered at 05:08 UTC. These emissions occur in association with major eruptions on the Sun and are typically associated with strong CMEs and solar radiation storms.<\/p>\n

Additionally, a 10cm Radio Burst (tenflare) lasting 22 minutes and with a peak flux of 570 sfu was associated with this event. This 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. The noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications.<\/p>\n

Radio frequencies were forecast to be most degraded over Asia, the Indian Ocean, parts of Australia, and West Pacific Ocean at the time of the flare.<\/p>\n

Region 3664 is currently in a geoeffective position \u2014 favoring Earth-directed CMEs.<\/p>\n

Additionally, it has a \u2018beta-gamma-delta\u2019 magnetic configuration and is capable of producing more strong to major eruptions on the Sun. Any CME produced by this region over the next few days has a good chance of being Earth-directed.<\/p>\n

This was the second X-class solar flare of the UTC day, following an impulsive X1.0 at 01:39 UTC from Region 3663 \u2014 now located near the NW limb. CME was not produced by this event.<\/p>\n

In 7 days to 08:00 UTC on May 8, our star produced 44 M-class<\/strong> and 6 X-class solar flares<\/strong>, most of them by regions 3663 and 3664.<\/p>\n

The strongest CMEs produced by this activity were directed away from Earth. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s possible that a part of the CME produced on May 6 is heading our way. However, only a glancing blow is anticipated, causing unsettled to active geomagnetic field conditions on May 9.<\/p>\n

Solar activity is expected to persist at moderate to high levels through at least May 10, with M-class flares (R1 \u2013 Minor to R2 \u2013 Moderate) expected (90%) and a high chance for X-class flares (R3 \u2013 Strong \/ 25%), due to the continued flare potential of Regions 3663 and 3664.<\/p>\n

Analysis of today\u2019s CME-producing X1.0 flare is still in progress. This report will be updated accordingly.<\/em><\/p>\n
