SUMMARY: X-ray Event exceeded X1
Begin Time: 2023 Jan 09 1837 UTC
Maximum Time: 2023 Jan 09 1850 UTC
End Time: 2023 Jan 09 1857 UTC
X-ray Class: X1.9
Optical Class: 2b
Location: S14E70
NOAA Scale: R3 - Strong
Potential Impacts: Area of impact consists of large portions of the sunlit side of Earth, strongest at the sub-solar point.

Issue Time: 2023 Jan 09 1909 UTC
SUMMARY: 10cm Radio Burst
Begin Time: 2023 Jan 09 1846 UTC
Maximum Time: 2023 Jan 09 1846 UTC
End Time: 2023 Jan 09 1850 UTC
Duration: 4 minutes
Peak Flux: 229 sfu
Latest Penticton Noon Flux: 184 sfu
Description: A 10cm radio burst indicates that the electromagnetic burst associated with a solar flare at the 10cm wavelength was double or greater than the initial 10cm radio background. This can be indicative of significant radio noise in association with a solar flare. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications.

Issue Time: 2023 Jan 09 1850 UTC
ALERT: X-Ray Flux exceeded M5
Threshold Reached: 2023 Jan 09 1847 UTC
NOAA Scale: R2 - Moderate
Potential Impacts: Area of impact centered on sub-solar point on the sunlit side of Earth. Extent of blackout of HF (high frequency) radio communication dependent upon current X-ray Flux intensity.
