SOLAR CYCLE 25 ACTIVITY REPORT SEP 29

Solar activity continues at low levels with 11 observed C class flares. The largest event of the period was a C5.6 flare, occurred at 05:30 UTC on September 29 from a region that is not yet numbered on the northeastern limb. As this report is being written, the same region has produced a C5.8 flare. This not yet numbered region possibly is the former AR3098.

GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH (G2 CLASS): NOAA forecasters say that G2-class geomagnetic storms are possible on Oct. 1st in response to a double blow: (1) A solar wind stream is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field; it is flowing from an equatorial hole in the sun's atmosphere. (2) A CME will pass very close to Earth, potentially grazing our planet; it left the sun on Sept. 28th. This is what happened during the last G2-storm. SpaceWeather.com ​

SOLAR CYCLE 25 ACTIVITY REPORT SEP 30

Solar activity continues at moderate levels with 11 observed C class flares. The largest event of the period was a M1.0 flare, occurred at 04:00 UTC on September 30 from a region that is not yet numbered on the northeastern limb. This flare generated a Minor R1 Radio blackout over Southeast Asia. Most experts think this region is the one formerly called AR3098.

SOMETHING FLARE-Y THIS WAY COMES: A large and active sunspot group is about to rotate over the sun's northeastern limb. We can see it coming from the turmoil visible above the horizon:

It has already produced an M1-class solar flare (Sept. 30th at 0400 UT) partially eclipsed by the edge of the sun. The unobstructed flare was probably much stronger.

Helioseismologists have been tracking this sunspot group for more than a week. It is altering the way the whole sun vibrates, creating a dark echo in acoustic maps of the farside of the sun. Soon we will see it with our own eyes. The first dark cores should emerge this weekend. SpaceWeather.com​

There are currently 4 numbered active regions on the disk: AR3105, AR3107, AR3110, and AR3111

AR3110, currently located in the northwest, (N16W19) is growing in magnetic complexity and now has a beta-gamma configuration. Its current area is 200MH but its probabilities of generating M or X class flares are very low.

The total number of sunspots decreased to 56. NOAA forecast for the next 24h is 99% chance for C flares, 30% chance for M flares and 5% chance for X flares.

▪︎ Auroral Activity

The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 586.9 km/s at 06:01 UTC on Sep 29. Active geomagnetic conditions (Kp=4) were reached at 05:56 UTC

SOLAR CYCLE 25 ACTIVITY REPORT OCTOBER 01

Solar activity continues at moderate levels with 16 observed C class flares. The largest event of the period was a M2.9 flare, occurred at 16:22 UTC on September 30 from the new region AR3112 (finally numbered!) This flare generated a Minor R1 Radio blackout over South America.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1575888801381187584

https://twitter.com/x/status/1575883483674722305

We have to keep an eye on the flare activity in the active region 3112 on the northeast side of the Sun: after the M1.0 flare at 4:01 UT on September 30, a small C7.8 flare at 14:16 UTC, a M2.9 flare at 16:22 UTC, a M1.4 flare at 17:34 UTC

https://twitter.com/x/status/1576174757472800769

There are currently 7 numbered active regions on the disk: AR3105, AR3107, AR3110, AR3111, new regions AR3112, AR3113 and newest AR3114

AR3112 located in the northeast (N20E62) is a group of 5 sunspots that has grown rapidly in size and complexity. It currently has an area of 180MH and its magnetic configuration is beta-gamma. This October 01 has produced 5 C-class flares and is the most active region so far. NOAA forecasts give a probability of 80% for C flares, 40% for M flares and 10% for X flares.

AR3113, currently located in the northwest, (N16W28) is a group of 11 sunspots with a area of 100MH and a beta magnetic configuration. NOAA forecasts give a probability of 35% for C flares, 5% for M flares and 1% for X flares.

AR3114 currently located in the southeast (S33E30) is a group of 3 sunspots with a area of 29MH and a beta magnetic configuration. The region has very low probabilities of generating something significant.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1576176628841222144

The total number of sunspots increased to 74. NOAA forecast for the next 24h is 99% chance for C flares, 60% chance for M flares and 10% chance for X flares.

▪︎ Auroral Activity

The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 591 km/s at 05:44 UTC on Sep 30.

Geomagnetic conditions are quiet (11 UTC on October 1, 2022), but geomagnetic storming is predicted during the day today, due to the effects of high-speed solar wind from coronal holes. And these conditions will extend through October 2-3. There’s an aurora alert for latitudes as low as New York, Wisconsin and Washington state. We’ve been watching two coronal holes on the sun all week, and two new holes have appeared on the solar disk, one central above the sun’s equator, and the other near the sun’s northern pole.

X1-FLARE !
2-3 Oct 2022

It appears that an X-Flare just occurred on the sun. Spaceweather.com writes following:

X-FLARE! Earth-orbiting satellites have just detected an X1-class solar flare (Oct. 2nd @ 2025 UT). Ironically, it did not come from big dangerous sunspot AR3112, described below, but rather from AR3110, a smaller and apparently less threatening active region. The flare (image) produced a shortwave radio blackout over the Pacific Ocean and parts of North America (blackout map), and it may have hurled a CME into space. Stay tuned for updates.

At the same time, all of the sudden while i was keeping an eye on the geomagnetic activity here on earth i noticed that it just spiked in the moment of writing (albeit nothing is to see over the sky of Stockholm which on top is a bit misty. In the extreme north of Swede, in the town of Kiruna the auroras seem lively since 21 UTC or 23 Swedish summer time [2 Oct 2022] (see photo below)




KIRUNA (Northern Sweden) magnetometer
around midnight towards 3 Oct 2022

You can clearly see both the visual appearance of auroras over the skies of Kiruna, as well the fluctuating, bouncing lines in the chart indicated that something hit earths magnetosphere.

 

[mkrnhr]

I think the AR3112 active region is large enough to be visible in the next day. There are usually two ways to see sunspots without instrumentation; at sunset when the sun is low enough to be looked at with no problem (sometimes, some mist or clouds can help), or by using the a welding glass.

 

[XPan]

Additionally, you can project the sun onto a piece of paper or while cardboard with help of binoculars or a telescope.

AR3112 (N20E57) is growing in magnetic complexity and size. Experts say this is a very dangerous sunspot. AR3112 now has an area of 750MH and a beta-gamma-delta magnetic configuration. NOAA forecasts an 85% chance of generating C-class flares, a 55% chance of M-class and a 25% chance of generating X-class solar flares.

AR3112 has more than a dozen dark cores scattered across 130,000 km of solar terrain, making it an easy target for backyard solar telescopes.

The emergence of AR3112 already fully formed and unstable could herald two weeks of high solar activity as the sunspot group transits the solar disk, facing Earth the whole time. SpaceWeather.com

There are currently 6 numbered active regions on the disk:, AR3107, AR3110, AR3111, AR3112, AR3113 and AR3114.

The total number of sunspots remains at 100. NOAA forecast for the next 24h is 99% chance for C flares, 70% chance for M flares and 30% chance for X flares.

▪︎ Auroral Activity

The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to storm levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 576.1 km/s at 21:30 UTC on October 02. Active geomagnetic conditions (Kp=4) were reached at 22:20 UTC then the geomagnetic storm level G1 (Kp=5) at 22:54 UTC thanks to a high speed solar wind stream from a double equatorial coronal hole.

To my surprise

there were plenty of auroras over Sweden in the evening of 2-3 Oct 2022 - even in South Sweden - despite the fact, that I was not able to see any over Stockholm (I tried several times, with help of the camera which sees more then the naked eye).
Reports with images from all across the country have been sent in - especially from the north, the display was really wild, from dusk to dawn.

Shown below, is a photo from photographer P-M Hedén, who made a beautiful photo of the auroral display just 30 km north of Stockholm. Albeit the image is tagged being taken 3 Oct 2022, at 21.03... which would mean, the evening after the event ?! Also curious, because i didn't see any auroras yesterday evening either.... Either I was too late, or when I was at the Högdalen subway train depot yesterday, it's notoriously strong lights everywhere making it very difficult to spot any activities in the sky. Yet, I still often look up as often as I can....

In the publicly open Swedish Facebook group, people did sent in images of Northern Lights from yesterday evening 3 Oct 2022, as well from the evening prior.

Taken by P-M Hedén on October 3, 2022 @ Vallentuna Sweden

Boom! Wow, strong, intense and kind of brutal! I hardly got up my gear before it was over. Strong display with many colors, marvelous! And such a strong display as far south as only 30km north of Stockholm Sweden.

SOLAR CYCLE 25 ACTIVITY REPORT OCTOBER 05

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. Six C-class flares were recorded and the largest event of the period was a M1.6 flare at 13:15 UTC on October 04 from AR3110 it generated a Minor R1 Radio blackout over South Pacific Ocean

https://twitter.com/x/status/1577290772201832448

The M1.6 flare that occurred in the active region 13110 on October 4 was also accompanied by a coronal mass ejection (CME); the SOHO/LASCO observation captured a CME erupting in a northwest (upper right) direction (white border). It is not heading toward the earth. [Courtesy of SIDC/CACTus]. T Deepl
