Region 4455 strikes again!

M9.3-flare (nearly an X-flare) with a high R2-level radio blackout now! Expect degraded radio communications over next hour, especially Asian Pacific, India, Asia, East Africa, Alaska & Hawaii (colored areas in map). Region 4455 continues to grow in complexity so X-flare risk will remain elevated over the next 72 hours at least. — Space Weather Woman
