SUNSPOT MONITORING – SEPTEMBER 4, 2018

Here are today’s solar images taken from Al Sadeem Observatory, September 4, 2018.

The sky was mostly clear with intermittent light to moderate winds making the seeing and transparency average at the time these images were taken.

The Sun remains spotless and generally inactive with no significant flaring activity recorded over the past 24 hours. The latest sunspot number (based on visual count and Wolf number calculation) is 0.  Other solar features include few eruptive prominences at the limbs and the scattered stable plage region as distinctively captured in H-alpha imagery.

Space weather agencies* forecast solar activity to remain at very low levels with chances of weak X-ray fluxes or flares ranging up to B-class intensity. Close monitoring is being conducted by numerous space weather agencies for any significant development.
