“Two familiar bright regions rotate back into Earth-view this week, but they arent quite as active as they were the last time we saw them. No longer classified as sunspots, nevertheless, these regions are still boosting the solar flux, which means radio propagation is back into the marginal range on Earth’s dayside for emergency responders […] Read more

” A SUNSPOT FROM THE NEXT SOLAR CYCLE: Getting tired of Solar Minimum? Good news: It won’t last forever. In fact, the next solar cycle made a brief appearance this week. On May 28th, a small sunspot materialized in the sun’s northern hemisphere, then, hours later, vanished again. The polarity of its magnetic field marked it […] Read more

May 18 was the last day we saw sunspot activity, after more than two weeks with daily sunspots visible. Average daily sunspot number declined to 5.3 this week following 22.7 during the previous week. Average daily solar flux declined from 75.7 to 69.8. Geomagnetic conditions were quieter, with average daily planetary A index declining from […] Read more

The RSGB’s Propagation Studies Committee (PSC) has released a new propagation tool for amateurs, based on the ITU’s ITURHFPROP program. The tool is the work of programmer and PSC member James Watson, HZ1JW. The new tool gives you hour-by-hour monthly median propagation predictions from a location you specify to one of 28 locations around the world. Predictions […] Read more

“The Sun gets crazy busy this week with multiple solar storms that are inbound to earth! We should feel the first of the direct hits sometime May 15 and storing should continue into May 16 and possibly through the 17th before things begin to calm down. All this rukus is due to regions 2740 and […] Read more

Surprise! A strong (G3) geomagnetic storm is currently in progress thanks to an enhanced solar wind stream containing a sharply south pointing Bz. Visible aurora is likely at middle to high latitudes if it is still dark outside.

This is amazing! AR 12740, which is an old cycle region and I honestly have not expected much, has produced a C9.9 (almost M-class) flare. The flare was very short duration, but note the spectacular large-scale coronal propagating front in the difference movie! pic.twitter.com/LVwMsVdrEq — Halo CME (@halocme) May 6, 2019 Read more
