Our Sun remains quiet apart from two minor far side eruptions beyond the east limb. No significant solar flares (M or greater) have occurred for almost a month now and solar flares of the M-class or higher are also not expected in the near future due to the lack of complex sunspot regions facing Earth right now. It really looks like we have passed solar maximum and are slowly going to solar minimum.
A lot of people come to SpaceWeatherLive to follow the Sun's activity or if there is aurora to be seen, but with more traffic comes higher server costs. Consider a donation if you enjoy SpaceWeatherLive so we can keep the website online!
