What's happening in the Space Weather? Find out with the latest news and updates on solar activity and auroral activity
www.spaceweatherlive.comHere are the latest updates on solar flares based on recent reliable space-weather reports:
Major solar activity has included several strong flares from recently emerged sunspot groups. X-class flares, while notable, remain relatively infrequent, with cooler C- and M-class activity more common in the past days. This pattern is consistent with an active but not extreme phase of the current solar cycle, and NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) continues to monitor for any Earth-directed eruptions that could affect communications or navigation.[1][3][5]
Recent summaries from SpaceWeatherLive and EarthSky indicate multiple flare events across the last few days, including a mix of C- and B-class events, with occasional stronger bursts from complex sunspot regions. They also note that Earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs) accompanying flares are not always present, which reduces immediate geomagnetic impact to Earth.[2][3][5]
For real-time alerts, SWPC provides ongoing updates on flare class (A/B/C/M/X), location on the solar disk, and any associated CMEs or radio disturbances. If you’re planning activities sensitive to HF radio or GPS, you’d want to check their current forecast and any alerts issued for your region.[3][2]
If you’d like, I can pull in the latest SWPC alerts and compile a concise, up-to-date briefing tailored to Prague (local-time impacts and likely communications effects). I can also generate a quick chart of flare classes over the past 48–72 hours to illustrate recent activity. Would you prefer a text briefing or a downloadable infographic?

www.spaceweatherlive.comOver the past day, solar activity dropped from *low* to *very low* levels. The sun produced only B-class (weak) flares. In total, it fired just 5 B-class flares, down from yesterday’s 8. Strongest flare: B9.2 from AR4443 in the southeast, peaking at 16:11 UTC on May 20. Lead flare producer: A tie at the top once more! AR4441 and AR4443 each fired 2 B-class flares. The remaining flare came from elsewhere on the disk. … Over the past day, solar activity continued at *low* levels. In total, the...
