It's been relatively quiet at the Solar-front compared to the X-epic month of May ~ we've only had 2 X-class flares so far in July with little severe geomagnetic storming. However, don't let these statistics paint a misleading picture ~ our Sun is still doing its thing, busy producing numerous C and M-class flares daily and sending Cosmic stuff our way that are not detected or read by existing devices.
Let's see some resources pertaining to the recent X-1.9 flare, which just occurred on 16 July.
