Forecast Valid For 24 Hours
Solar activity was in eruptive the last 24 hours.
Eight C-class flares were observed, with no M-class or X-class flares reported. The most significant event was a C8.1 flare from NOAA 14409, peaking at 19:58UT. Associated with this activity, three type III solar radio bursts were detected, with no type II or type IV radio bursts observed. Additionally, six coronal mass ejections were recorded. Those from the western limb had a median speed of 316 kilometers per second and an angular width of 14 degrees, while those from the eastern limb had a median speed of 606 kilometers per second and an angular width of 8 degrees. On the visible disk, SDO/HMI instruments observed nine active regions, specifically NOAA 14399, NOAA 14401, NOAA 14402, NOAA 14403, NOAA 14404, NOAA 14405, NOAA 14406, NOAA 14408, and NOAA 14409. BBSO H-alpha observations identified one plage, NOAA 14407. Looking beyond the visible disk, one active region is expected to return to the visible disk between April 02 and April 04 2026.
