SEVERE SOLARWXAkshay Deoras
Severe Weather Forecaster
The sunspot region 1165 which is at the far limb of the sun produced a M4 Class flare at around 1828UT. The explosion was so powerful that it hurled massive coronal mass ejection into the space
The attached image is the image of sun as seen from the earth. A time lapse of CME can be found here.
The CME is not heading towards the earth rather is directed along a path between Venus and Earth
Approaching CORONAL MASS EJECTION FROM MARCH 7 EVENT
During late night hours on 7th March, there was M2 class flare which hurled a tremendous high velocity coronal mass ejection. Max velocity was around 2200Km/sec
It can be seen here .
The CME as seen from the STEREO BEHIND PLOT is partly directed towards the earth and is expected to cause unsettle magnetosphere ( Minor Storming).
The CME shall arrive tomorrow morning and is expected to cause KP= 5,4
WEATHER FORECAST
* M class flares likely to continue from sunspot 1165 and new M class flares are expected from sunspot 1166 which also posses a Delta Magnetic classification.
Sunspot 1166 is expected to become more complex and capable for producing X c
lass flares.
As the proton flux is above normal level,
Solar Proton storming shall persists till next 24hrs
* With the arrival of CME tomorrow(10th March)
Minor storming is possible with Auroras for high latitude observers.
