    According to Spaceweather.com : NOAA forecasters have issued a G1-class geomagnetic storm watch for Jan. 4th and 5th when a CME and a stream of solar wind are expected to graze Earth's magnetic field. This should be a relatively minor event, much less intense than the severe G4-class storm of Jan. 1st. Nevertheless, high-latitude sky watchers (especially near the Artic Circle) could get a good show if the storm materializes.

    According to Spaceweather.com :The quiet has broken. During the past 24 hours, sunspot 3936 has produced two X-class solar flares (X1.1 and X1.5) and a score of lesser M-flares. This morning's X1.5-class eruption (0414 UTC) was so strong it triggered a secondary blast in sunspot 3932 more than 200,000 km away. This is actually a double X-flare. Both explosions pictured above crossed the X1 threshold. Extreme ultraviolet radiation from the flares ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere, causing a shortwave radio blackout approximately centered on Australia. Ham radio operators in the area may have lost signal below 20 MHz for as much as an hour. We don't yet know if these flares hurled CMEs into space.

      @ The Northern and Southern half of the Sun have very different arrays of Sunspots with more X-class and M-class solar flares occurring in the Southern hemisphere. The Northern hemisphere should now start to see more as the magnetic field on the Sun has flipped N->S and S->N. The magnetic flux and the ropes of Magnetic and Electrical fields will now start to converge on the Northern Hemisphere. Thus only 1/2 has contributed to the total Sun’s maximum….
