Solar Storms at M1.0 Solar Flare
Right now
The most recent data we hold from DONKI arrived 14 hours ago, and this point is in it.
Reported by DONKI today.
What the source measured
DONKI reported: M1.0 solar flare detected. Minor HF radio degradation on sunlit side of Earth.
How we know
Confirmed by 2 independent sources, including DONKI.
Our own score for this event is 17 out of 100, at 55 % confidence.
The score is ours, computed from intensity, exposed population and local history — not the source’s.
Computed under scoring rules v4. Rows carrying other versions were judged by different rules and are not directly comparable.
