There are currently seven sunspot groups on the side of the Sun facing Earth, one of which has reached the highest complexity category, beta-gamma-delta. As reported to TASS by the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of IKI RAS and ISZF SB RAS, the star is operating in a "flare spam" mode – more than 20 events have been recorded in a day, almost all of them weak and medium level.

On Tuesday, April 28, at 15:33 Moscow time, an M1.0 class flare occurred in sunspot group 4420, lasting 23 minutes, specified the Institute of Applied Geophysics.

The peak of activity occurred on April 24 with two consecutive X-flares, but there are currently no signs of energy accumulation for strong events. Analysis shows that the star is burning reserves in many small events, and group 4420 has not yet transitioned to an explosive mode. The probability of large flares is estimated at 20–30%.

The geomagnetic situation remains calm. Tomorrow, April 30, a weak impact from another coronal hole will begin, but models predict only minor field disturbances.

For the May holidays, scientists promise a "green light" – a completely calm ten-day period without storms. For ground infrastructure, satellite navigation, and HF communication, this is a technical respite after the record geomagnetic tension at the beginning of the year.
