A moderately strong solar flare measuring M1.8 at its peak time erupted at 06:41 UTC on December 1, 2014. The event started at 06:26 and ended at 06:59 UTC.
A 10cm Radio Burst lasting 6 minutes (peak flux 180 sfu) was associated with the event. This indicates that the electromagnetic burst associated with a solar flare at the 10cm wavelength was double or greater than the initial 10cm radio background. This can be indicative of significant radio noise in association with a solar flare. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications.
Region 2222, the source of today's M1.8 solar flare, has 'beta-gamma' magnetic configuration, it is located almost at the center of the disk and is capable of producing strong eruptions on the Sun. It's position is favorable for Earth-directed Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and will remain like that in the coming days. More information about this event will be posted after the analysis is complete.
