Solar flaring activity was very low over the past 24 hours. The X-ray flux was below C level. A total of 2 numbered sunspot groups were identified on the disk over the past 24 hours. SIDC Sunspot Group 825 (NOAA Active Region 4419) is the largest and most magnetically complex (Beta-Gamma) regions on disk. Solar flaring activity is expected to be low over the next 24 hours, with C-class flares likely and a small chance for M-class flares.
A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was observed erupting towards the north-east, in LASCO-C2 data around 16:00 UTC on April 19. This CME is associated with a filament eruption seen in SDO/AIA 304 in around 15:15 UTC on April 19, with an estimated speed of 378 km/s. Analysis of this CME is ongoing.
The greater than 10 MeV GOES proton flux was at background levels and is expected to remain at background levels over the next 24 hours.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux, as measured by GOES-18 and GOES-19 was above the 1000 pfu alert threshold in the past 24 hours. The flux is expected to fluctuate around the alert threshold over the next 24 hours. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux, as measured by GOES-18 and GOES-19 was above the 1000 pfu alert threshold in the past 24 hours. The flux is expected to fluctuate around the alert threshold over the next 24 hours.
