Overview

• The Laboratory of Solar Astronomy at Russia’s Space Research Institute says strong flares have resumed contrary to earlier forecasts.
• The current flare level is around M1.0 to M2.0 after a four‑month peak of M6.4 recorded on September 28.
• Two active centers roughly 150,000 kilometers across are producing successive C‑ and M‑class events.
• On Monday the lab logged eight C‑class flares and one M‑class flare.
• Geomagnetic effects on Earth are considered possible from Wednesday or Thursday, and the lab reports no obvious signs of imminent X‑class activity.
