The event started at 06:27 and ended at 07:06 UTC. <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This is the 10<sup>th<\/sup> X-class solar flare since May 3.<\/li>\n<li>We now have 4 halo CMEs heading our way (+2 more very likely \u2014 produced on May 9 and 10).<\/li>\n<li>Periods of G4 \u2013 Severe to G5 \u2013 Extreme geomagnetic storming are possible starting May 11.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A Type II Radio Emission (with an estimated velocity of 1 248 km\/s) was associated with the event \u2014 indicating a coronal mass ejection (CME) was produced. Additionally, a Type IV Radio Emission was detected at 06:51 UTC \u2014 suggesting a strong CME was produced.<\/p>\n<p>A 10cm Radio Burst (tenflare), lasting 16 minutes and with a peak flux of 900 sfu, was associated with the event, indicating 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<p>Radio frequencies were forecast to be most degraded over eastern Europe, central and NE Africa, the Middle East, entire Asia, and the Indian Ocean at the time of the flare.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-perfmatters-preload=\"\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"958\" height=\"838\" src=\"https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/x3.9-solar-flare-sdo-aia-304-at-0653-utc-may-10-2024.webp\" alt=\"x3.9 solar flare sdo aia 304 at 0653 utc may 10 2024\" class=\"wp-image-183436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/x3.9-solar-flare-sdo-aia-304-at-0653-utc-may-10-2024.webp 958w, https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/x3.9-solar-flare-sdo-aia-304-at-0653-utc-may-10-2024-300x262.webp 300w, https:\/\/watchers.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/x3.9-solar-flare-sdo-aia-304-at-0653-utc-may-10-2024-768x672.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 958px) 100vw, 958px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">X3.9 solar flare produced on May 10, 2024.
