Multiple Earth-Directed Solar Storms & X-Flares on All Sides | Space Weather Spotlight 28 July 2024

This Space Weather News forecast sponsored in part by Millersville University:
In the last 24 hours our Sun has gone from mild to wild. Not only do we have X-flare players on all sides of the Sun, but we have at least four, Earth-directed solar storms and a few glancing blows on their way as well. All of the front-sided activity is mainly due to Regions 3762, 3764, and 3766 with the farsided activity due mainly to old Region 3738. The first set of solar storms is expected to arrive sometime on July 29, with the largest of these storms arriving around mid-day July 30. Model predictions are still being processed at the time of this post, as this is a quickly evolving scene so all predictions will be updated as more information comes in. Right now, it looks like aurora chances will increase dramatically starting mid-day July 29, with conditions peaking late on July 30- 31. We could easily see G2 to G3-level conditions by July 30th Also, the active region clusters comprising 3763, 3764, and 3766 as well as Region 3762 are continuing to grow in complexity and could continue firing big flares over the next few days. This means more possible R2 to R3-level radio blackouts and possibly more Earth-directed solar storms as they rotate through the Earth-strike zone over the next few days. Lean the details of these coming solar storms, find out when aurora will likely be visible & see what fireworks are lurking on the Sun's farside.

The coming week will be quite interesting. Now that the days are shorter, we should see night time auroras. HF and VHF propagation will be interesting too. I love how these events sometimes bring in stations unheard when conditions are quiet. 73, VE6XTC

This was already so amazing, and then you hit us with the coronagraph around 2:40 – I am stunned. So cool. I didn't know this technology existed, so grateful to you for sharing this with us!!❤

Did I hear this correctly from Dr. Skov, X Class 11 and X Class 14 Flare?! That is beyond intense!!!

[KCVYY]

Imagine if earth would have had that X14 farsided flare last week earth facing. That would have been a fire works show.

I find it fascinating that every time we have an X flare, it happens to just barely miss us.
