More than three months. That's how long it took for the Sun to boost solar activity up to moderate levels again. It was sunspot region 2567 which produced two M-class solar flares early this night. First an M1.2 (R1-minor) solar flare at 00:46 UTC which was quickly followed by an M1.0 (R1-minor) solar flare at 01:49 UTC. These are the first M-class solar flares since the M6.7 solar flare that took place on 18 April.
Current data suggests there is a slight possibility for aurora to appear at the following high latitude regions in the near future
