Monday Universal Time, August 24, 2015: list of Solar Flares:
>M5 07:33 UT (12:33 AM PDT, Monday morning, August 24) - Solar Magnetic Crochet
M1 17:46 UT (10:46 AM PDT, Monday morning, August 24)
*The M5 (close to an M6) on August 24, 2015, was a sudden blast with a very sharp rise and decline. This is called a Magnetic Crochet and is significant as it heats up the Ionosphere and might possibly trigger storms on earth. If an X5 or higher were to be a magnetic crochet, then deadly Acts of God in the form of typhoons, hurricanes, and tornadoes could be unleashed in addition to the disruption of the GPS and electrical grids.
The M1 was another sharp rise and rapid descent. As this appears to be a signature of this sunspot, if we were to have an X flare, it could heat things up in the ionosphere.
Huge Sunspot 2403 has a 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field that could unleash an X-flare: Click to view:
