Last night Earth was hit by a minor geomagnetic storm which was actually the edge of the X4 flare on 14 Nov from AR4247. Had the CME been square on to Earth, we might have been facing another G4-G5 storm, and with Earth's magnetic field still weakened by the previous storm, the effect

GONG far-side solar imagery (also known as magic!) shows a strengthening active region (marked "P100") coming around the east limb in a few days.
Keeping fingers crossed it will provide some fireworks!

The active region that's brought us four X-flares in 6 days is sending some parting M-flares as it approaches the west limb. We've had two M1.3 flares since 20h UT this evening.

Solar Flare Alert: A strong X4.0 flare from AR4274 peaked at 08h30 UT 14 Nov. An R3 radio blackout affected south-eastern Africa, Madagascar and Indian Ocean regions.
AR4274 is near the west limb so any CME would not be earth-directed.
Stay tuned for updates.

The CME from the X5.1 flare on the 11th arrived last night just after 20h UT. It had a strong northward Bz (magnetic) component. This initially cancelled out the Earth's magnetic field, so the CME impact and following couple of hours were pretty dull until the Bz finally swung south j

Welcome!
Just a quick note to say that the solar storms over the last couple of days have brought me a lot of new followers on Mastodon, so just a note to them to say "welcome to the feed", and I hope you enjoy it!

The solar radiation storm has now reduced to S1 (Minor) level at 23h20 UT.
Geomagnetic storm conditions are continuing with so far a few effects at high-latitudes (minor-moderate substorms at Kiruna).

Stand down! That appears to be a false alarm, sorry. We're still awaiting the incoming CME shock to arrive at L1, although the data does look a bit disturbed.

AURORA ALERT
We have a similar pre-cursor signature of the Goes 18 satellite crossing the helio-sheath as seen yesterday as the Earth's magnetic field is compressed ahead of the CME.
The storm is almost here!

The CME from yesterday's X5.1 flare is inbound and on final approach.
There are various predictions for its arrival time, but most are suggesting between 18h and 21h UT today (12 Nov).

G5 Geomagnetic Storm!
You'll start seeing hundreds of pictures all over the news today. Bright pink and red aurors have been seen down to very low latitudes (for those without heavy cloud cover 😫).
This one is from West Cork in Ireland.
