Several C-Class Flares / Solar Flux above 80
10/27/2009 - Several low level C-Class flares have taken place around Sunspot 1029 in the past 24 hours. There will remain a chance for C-class and perhaps an M-Class flare. Sunspot 1029 has grown in size and is a pretty impressive sunspot cluster for Cycle 24.

The solar flux reached 81.3 on Monday, which is yet again a new record for Cycle 24. This is the highest Flux reading since March 2008 when Cycle 23 sunspots were present on the sun.
