According to Spaceweather.com : Geomagnetic unrest is possible on Dec. 17th when one or more CMEs are expected to pass close to Earth. The near misses will probably fall short of sparking a full-fledged geomagnetic storm. Nevertheless, auroras could fill the Arctic Circle as the solar storm clouds pass by.

Keep an eye on AR3922, though, as it may grow and get big and releasing more dangerous solar flares.eleasing more dangerous solar flares.

Sunspot AR3917 is growing rapidly with an increasingly complex magnetic field that harbors energy for strong explosions. If current trends continue, it could soon break the silence with a significant flare

@ The Northern and Southern half of the Sun have very different arrays of Sunspots with more X-class and M-class solar flares occurring in the Southern hemisphere. The Northern hemisphere should now start to see more as the magnetic field on the Sun has flipped N->S and S->N. The magnetic flux and the ropes of Magnetic and Electrical fields will now start to converge on the Northern Hemisphere. Thus only 1/2 has contributed to the total Sun’s maximum…. How often, ….well, once every 11 years (Earth measurement). Stuart Riley

Per Spaceweather.com : A G2-class geomagnetic storm is possible on Nov. 28-29 when a CME is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field. The CME was hurled into space by a magnetic filament attached to sunspot 3901, which erupted on Nov. 25th. There is a chance this CME will sail south of Earth with little to no contact, so this is a low probability forecast.

Solar activity will probably be low this weekend. There is a potent sunspot on the solar disk, AR3886, but it has resisted flaring for more than a week.

ulses of extreme ultraviolet radiation are ionizing the top of Earth's atmosphere, causing a series of shortwave radio blackouts rolling around all longitudes of our planet. Ham radio operators may notice intermittent loss of signal at frequencies below below 30 MHz. So far, none of the explosions has produced a significant CME. This could change in response to more explosions later today.

ccording to SpaceWeather.com, for the 7th day in a row, energetic protons from the sun are raining down on Earth. It's an almost S1-class radiation storm, resulting from the collective action of three X-class solar flares since Oct. 24th. These protons are causing a shortwave radio blackout inside the Antarctic Circle.

For the 3rd day in a row, energetic protons are raining down on Earth. It's an S2-class radiation storm. The protons were accelerated by X-class solar flares on Oct. 24th and 26th. As a result of the storm, a shortwave radio blackout is underway inside the Arctic Circle, and cameras on spacecraft are being fogged. Indeed, most of the speckles in the SOHO coronagraph movie highlighted below are solar protons hitting the camera. This could continue for at least another 24 hours.

NOAA forecasters are predicting a G1-class geomagnetic storm on Oct. 26th when a CME is expected to graze Earth's magnetic field. The CME was hurled into space yesterday by a powerful solar flare (X3.3) from sunspot AR3869. It is not heading straight for our planet, but even a glancing blow from this potent CME could spark bright auroras at high latitudes.

The CME is quite faint and superficially wouldn't seem to pack the punch required for a strong storm.
