Old Region 2192, now numbered 2209 ('beta-gamma'), has returned on the Earth side of the Sun, with moderately strong M3.2 solar flare on November 15, 2014. The latest event from this region started at 11:40, peaked at 12:03 and ended at 12:10 UTC.
A 10cm Radio Burst lasting 8 minutes (peak flux 229 sfu) was associated with the event. A 10cm radio burst 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 2209 is large and magnetically complex region but it is still not in favorable position for Earth-directed Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs). This will change in the coming days as it rotates toward the center of the disk. It is capable of producing more strong eruptions.
