The source of the flare was region 8882. Further major flares are possible, both from region 8882 and 8891. Comment added at 09:22 UTC: Region 8886 has been developing quickly and produced an impulsive M1.0/1F flare at 08:43 UTC, this event may have been triggered by the X1.1/2B flare in region 8882 some minutes earlier. Comment added at 13:54 UTC: Region 8882 produced another major flare at 13:43 UTC, an impulsive M6.5 event. The X1.1 flare earlier today was accompanied by a very fast coronal mass ejection and a moderately strong type II sweep. Proton fluxes increased slightly above background values. Further major flares from region 8882 could start proton events at Earth. This sounds promising. Mike, G3XDV (IO91VT) http://www.dennison.demon.co.uk/activity.htm
