What do you all think? Does this region really pose an X class risk?

I doubt it, but it's an understandable probability given its history. I also wouldn't call it a risk, since it'd be great if it were to happen, heh.

How slow is your SUVI lol, I saw it 15 min ago already

Right now its on 23.33 UTC and i can see its from the limb. is this region flaring at the same time though? (altough does not look like an M flare)

So it is much stronger then M class fire.

I'd say mid to upper M at most, It's not that far behind.

I would say this was a massive flare especially as how quickly S1 came into play.

The ratio on the GOES X-ray flux chart peaked at 0.299, I can’t recall seeing a larger ratio, though I’m sure there have been. It’s falling now which tells me the flare is tailing off but still a noteworthy flare. M3.9 just now.

What exactly does the ratio say about a flare? I always thought it was rather insignificant and showed how quickly a flare rose or something else.

what? o.o 

Its simple whe regions goes behind the limb GOES dont show really powerfull flares, If You see on GOES M5 its could be even X5

And I'm sure it was X flare but i haven dont idea what its it was

looks really impressive on the SDO image

Yep its look like X5+

The ratio displayed on the GOES X-ray flux chart typically refers to the classification of solar flares based on their peak X-ray flux intensity. This ratio is known as the "flare class ratio" and represents the classification of the most intense solar flare observed within a specific time period.

Solar flares are classified into different categories based on their peak X-ray flux intensity.

The ratio displayed on the GOES X-ray flux chart represents the relative intensity of the most significant solar flare observed within a specific time period compared to the background X-ray flux level.

Therefore the higher the ratio the more intense the flare and as the ratio increases the flare intensity is increasing the converse is true as ratio decreases the flare’s intensity is tailing back.
