Massive Sunspot AR1890 is now almost directly facing Earth. Any eruptions coming from this behemoth in the next few days will be geo-effective on the day lit side of the planet.

The Spot has the beta-gamma-delta magnetic field that has enough energy to produce X-class flares.

NOAA estimate the chance of flares over the next 24 hours at 45% for an M-class and 10% for an X-class.

Todays sunspot number is 148.

There is a coronal hole on the Earth side of the Sun and the solar wind flowing from it will arrive on November 10-11th.
