Solar alert

Issued on 2024 Dec 08 1004 UTC

An X2.2 flare (SIDC Flare 2856) was recorded with a peak time of 09:06 UTC on December 8, associated with SIDC Sunspot Group 305 (NOAA Active Region 3912). Type II radio emissions were detected at 09:05 UTC during the flaring activity, indicating there may be an associated CME. Coronagraph data will be analyzed when available to determine if any associated CME is Earth-directed. The 10 MeV proton flux is currently at background levels, but an increase may be possible due to this event, given the location of the source region.
