Severe G4 geomagnetic storm watch
Sunspot region 3664 which is easily the most complex sunspot region of the current Solar Cycle thus far continues where it left of yesterday, producing countless of M-class solar flares today and three X-class events (X1.0, X2.2 and X1.1). It remains an extremely complex sunspot region which has the potential to produce more major solar flares, perhaps even exceeding X5 or even X10.
