There were no radio signatures that would suggest a coronal mass ejection (CME) was produced during this event. Radio frequencies were forecast to be most degraded over SE Asia and Australia at the time of the flare.<\/p>\n

Region 3981 is moving toward the center of the solar disk, increasing the likelihood of Earth-directed solar flares in the coming days.<\/p>\n

This event follows multiple M-class solar flares since the end of January, with the strongest being M6.7 on January 31, and M5.1 and M4.1 on February 2. It was followed by M1.0 from the same region at 04:32 UTC today, M3.1 at 05:47 UTC, M2.5 at 07:44, and M1.4 at 09:13 UTC.<\/p>\n

The NOAA forecast calls for a 60% chance of M- and 15% of X-class solar flares through February 5.<\/p>\n
