The Sun Goes Wild.

The past 3 days has seen a flurry of solar flares.

Two sunspot groups have generated over 20 major (M-class) flares over a period of 3 days. I think this is the most I have seen. In any case this is most definitely the most active the sun has been in the current cycle 25.

The 21cm solar flux has also risen to 166 today, and in between the flares 10m has seen massive signals. 

The solar activity has been much more than the official prediction, since the new cycle started. If we are lucky this solar maximum is likely to exceed the previous one by a factor of two.

It will be interesting, indeed, to see where this goes.
