SUMMARY: 10cm Radio Burst
Begin Time: 2026 Feb 08 1350 UTC

End Time: 2026 Feb 08 1353 UTC
Duration: 3 minutes
Peak Flux: 440 sfu
Latest Penticton Noon Flux: 169 sfu
Description: A 10cm radio burst indicates that the electromagnetic burst associated with a solar flare at the 10cm wavelength was double or greater than the initial 10cm radio background. This can be indicative of significant radio noise in association with a solar flare. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications.

Space Weather Message Code: SUM10R
Serial Number: 899
Issue Time: 2026 Jan 18 1955 UTC
SUMMARY: 10cm Radio Burst
Begin Time: 2026 Jan 18 1739 UTC
Maximum Time: 2026 Jan 18 1757 UTC
End Time: 2026 Jan 18 1944 UTC
Duration: 122 minutes
Peak Flux: 3200 sfu
Latest Penticton Noon Flux: 148 sfu
Description: A 10cm radio burst indicates that the electromagnetic burst associated with a solar flare at the 10cm wavelength was double or greater than the initial 10cm radio background. This can be indicative of significant radio noise in association with a solar flare. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications.
Space Weather Message Code: SUMX01
Serial Number: 205
Issue Time: 2026 Jan 18 1900 UTC
SUMMARY: X-ray Event exceeded X1
Begin Time: 2026 Jan 18 1727 UTC
Maximum Time: 2026 Jan 18 1809 UTC
End Time: 2026 Jan 18 1851 UTC
X-ray Class: X1.9
Optical Class: 3b
Location: S12E20
NOAA Scale: R3 - Strong
NOAA Space Weather Scale descriptions can be found at
www.swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation
Potential Impacts: Area of impact consists of large portions of the sunlit side of Earth, strongest at the sub-solar point.
Radio - Wide area blackout of HF (high frequency) radio communication for about an hour.
Space Weather Message Code: ALTTP2
Serial Number: 1466
Issue Time: 2026 Jan 18 1847 UTC
ALERT: Type II Radio Emission
Begin Time: 2026 Jan 18 1759 UTC
Estimated Velocity: 693 km/s
Description: Type II emissions occur in association with eruptions on the sun and typically indicate a coronal mass ejection is associated with a flare event.
Space Weather Message Code: ALTTP4
Serial Number: 704
Issue Time: 2026 Jan 18 1813 UTC
ALERT: Type IV Radio Emission
Begin Time: 2026 Jan 18 1748 UTC
Description: Type IV emissions occur in association with major eruptions on the sun and are typically associated with strong coronal mass ejections and solar radiation storms.
Space Weather Message Code: ALTXMF
Serial Number: 508
Issue Time: 2026 Jan 18 1752 UTC
ALERT: X-Ray Flux exceeded M5
Threshold Reached: 2026 Jan 18 1752 UTC
NOAA Scale: R2 - Moderate
NOAA Space Weather Scale descriptions can be found at
www.swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation
Potential Impacts: Area of impact centered on sub-solar point on the sunlit side of Earth. Extent of blackout of HF (high frequency) radio communication dependent upon current X-ray Flux intensity.
