    Anything new about this? If the flare erupted on June 26 as an X-class, the news should be big right now.

      I guess it fizzled out or wasn’t pointing at Earth. Geomagnetic storms range from G1 to G5, and currently a G1 storm is predicted.

      Solar wind speed remains elevated at around 650 km/s due to continuing coronal hole (CH) effects. We are due to transition into another high-speed stream (HSS) from a trans-equatorial CH during the first forecast interval, enhancing geomagnetic activity further potentially up to STORM G1 level.

      Aurora maps show pretty weak auroras around the north pole. Most indicators are green or yellow.
