The Sun experienced its first strong flare in 3 weeks
Information has been received about a recently recorded M-class solar flare. The maximum radiation was reached at 12:55 Moscow time. The flare lasted approximately 20 minutes.
Today marks the beginning of a long series of geomagnetic disturbances due to a coronal hole formed on the Sun.
The forecast predicts an increase in the speed of the electromagnetic wind flow approaching Earth within 24 hours. Geomagnetic indices should also begin to rise following this. The source of the expected disturbances is clearly visible on the Sun. This coronal hole is quite close in size and not quite solid in shape.
The level of solar activity has dropped to its lowest level in 3.5 years.
The average monthly sunspot number, which has been measured consistently since 1749 and is a leading indicator of solar activity, fell to 78.2 in the first two months of 2026. This is the lowest figure since August 2022, when a value of 74.6 was recorded.
