SamDieGurke Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Well I dunno but looking at the region it still looks capable of producing strong flares. Others here should probably be able to answer your question haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Highly unlikely, they are protected against the Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) that can be created by large CMEs. Power companies have anticipated the problems and taken steps to prevent them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of hard to say. The 2003 Halloween geomagnetic storms was caused by a region releasing several strong flares in a matter of days. The structure of the region is a very important factor, it's hard to put a pattern to its behavior but this is usually a good sign for activity.

Would be great, but considering the main weather condition in my area is cloudy I doubt I'd be much excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Didn't mean to quote Sam as well. X-flares don't always produce solar storms. Infact, almost all of the largest X-flares from this solar cycle either produced no solar storm or insignificant solar storms. The couple of good ones were pointed in the wrong direction but even then they wouldn't have been detrimental to society. We've experienced numerous G5 storms in the last 30 years and have come out relatively unscathed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow in the southern part again´? i have been focussed on the southern deltas if im correct this is the tightest/best delta right ? @mozy @Philalethes @Jesterface23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sotiris Konstantis Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 we're stuck at C9 for a while. Wonder how long we will remain barely below M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a region. Kind of hoping it doesn't keep dipping in and out of the M-class range. Kinda tired of all the R1 radio blackout alerts. Haha. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you personally use to determine the amount of shear within a region? And yes, there are several deltas but to be honest some are really small so i focus on the proper ones.

It is like the area you circled in the image, the umbra of the opposite polarities are just about pushed together. The east side has some magnetic shear. The west side has developing deltas.

In the app at least you can specify exactly what alerts you want. Twitter of course shows every alert. Go to settings, manage push alerts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a new feature since a few months ago 😉 so pretty new but so convenient 😎 damn this regions keeps evolving in a good way. Center a string delta close to opposite polarity and in trailing part it’s also a very strong magnetic soup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very convenient indeed, you guys keep making great changes to an already great website/app. ❤️ ! Where exactly is the string delta? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If with so many deltas and so high complexity and rapid growth we don't see at least a mid-X I will be extremely surprised considering we got mid X-flares from regions way less complex.
