Overview

• The Laboratory of Solar Astronomy at Russia's IKI RAS reported a genuine system-wide upswing that earlier forecasts did not anticipate.
• Two solar active regions about 150,000 kilometers across are fueling a run of C- and M-class flares.
• Monitoring on Monday logged eight C-class events and one strong M-class flare, indicating sustained activity.
• The present intensity is around M1.0–M2.0, with the recent four-month maximum recorded as an M6.4 flare on September 28.
• No X-class flares have been detected and experts do not see clear near-term potential for them, while geomagnetic impacts on Earth are considered possible from Wednesday or Thursday.
