A major solar flare measuring X9.0 erupted from Active Region 3842 at 12:18 UTC on October 3, 2024. This is now the strongest solar flare of Solar Cycle 25, following X8.7 on May 14, 2024.<\/p>\n

A Type II Radio Emission with an estimated velocity of 573 km\/s was associated with this event, suggesting a coronal mass ejection (CME) was produced.<\/p>\n

Additionally, a Type IV Radio Emission was detected at 12:17 UTC. Type IV emissions occur in association with major eruptions on the Sun and are typically associated with strong coronal mass ejections and solar radiation storms.<\/p>\n

Radio frequencies were forecast to be most degraded over parts of Africa and the South Atlantic at the time of the flare.<\/p>\n

Due to the location of the source region now in the center of the solar disk, any CME produced by it should be Earth-directed.<\/p>\n
