Solar Activity Report: April 20 -26, 2026

Solar activity ranged from very low to high levels during the reporting period. Activity was very low at the start of the week, with X‑ray flux in the mid‑B-class range, before increasing to the upper B‑class level accompanied by frequent low‑ to mid‑C‑class flares. By early April 23, activity rose sharply, producing four M‑class flares that day. Activity intensified further on April 24 with two X‑class flares (X2.5 and X2.4) and two additional M‑class flares. Finally, the solar activity subsided on April 25 and continued with the similar conditions on April 26, although the X‑ray flux remained in the C‑class range with a few M‑class events. These flares were associated with CMEs, however, none of which had Earth‑directed components.
