How can such a big jump happen?

how can such a big jump happen? 10CM radio flux @Vancanneyt Sander @Marcel de Bont

3089 didnt grew THAT much ? 

it really didnt grow fast or alot-lot. so im confused? is it because of 3088? @Newbie maybe you know something?

i saw such a jump in march already with 23UTC being normal again

compared the videos from march too and there was no major growth, rather small decay seen on the sunspots

Hmmm, not an expert but sheer number of M-class flares may have skewed the data?

Not skewed, it did temporarily raise the Sfi its back to normal now!

Hi Min yeah it was a result of the constant flaring taking place as mentioned already. SFI is a measure of solar particles and magnetic fields reaching the Earths atmosphere. The SFI is related to the number of flares occuring.

Edit: This was reported by Solarham just now.

What's up with the Solar Flux Index?

It should be noted that the solar flux reading at 20:00 UTC (Aug 28) is showing a whopping 251.9. This measurement was contaminated due to the flaring beforehand and an estimated value will likely be added in its place.

Obviously there was a lot of activity going on anyway.
