Solar Activity
Solar activity has been at high levels with ten M-Class flares and one X-Class flare. An impulsive X2.3/2b occurred at 06/1324 UTC originating from Region 3883 (S06E07, Ekc/beta-gamma-delta) and had an associated Type II radio sweep of 256 km/s. A possible sympathetic subflare occurred slightly after at 06/1331 UTC from Region 3886 (S08E37, Eki/beta-gamma). This eruption cascaded away from the area along the magnetic arcade which appeared to have triggered a filament eruption at 06/1338 UTC. However, the magnetic field lines did not reconfigure as the filament was restored and became apparent in GONG/H-alpha imagery by roughly 06/1800 UTC. Region 3883 remained as a bright surge on the disk throughout this time up until 06/1646 UTC. There has been no CMEs associated with the event.
Solar Wind
Waning CH HSS influences can be seen in the solar wind parameters after 06/1200 UTC. Total field has decreased to 2-4 nT with the Bz component around 1-2 nT. Solar wind speed has also been on the decline from 450 km/s to 400 km/s. The phi angle alternated into the negative (towards the Sun) orientation between 06/1530 - 06/1830 UTC but has remained positive otherwise.
Energetic Particle
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux has been at normal to moderate levels. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux has remained at background levels.
