The solar flaring activity was at moderate level during the last 24 hours with multiple C-class flares and three M-class flares. The strongest flare was an M3.6 flare from active region (AR) 3751 which peaked at 07:42​ UTC on July 24. During the flare, the source region (AR 3751) of the flare had beta-gamma-delta configuration of its photospheric magnetic field.

Currently, AR 3751 and AR 3762 are the most complex regions on the
disk (beta-gamma-delta magnetic field configuration). However, AR 3762 has only produced C-class flares. These regions harbor energy for X-class solar flares.

Solar activity is expected to be at moderate to high levels over the next 24 hours possibly with few M-class flares and a chance for isolated X-class flares.

A partial halo coronal mass ejection (CME) was first observed in the
SOHO/LASCO C2 images around 14:24​ UTC on July 23. This CME was associated with an M2.5 flare, which peaked at 14:28​ UTC on Jul 23, produced by AR 3765. Associated type II radio emissions were detected during the flaring activity. It has a projected speed of about 760 km/s. This CME is directed mostly towards the East and will most likely miss the Earth,  However, a glancing blow cannot be discarded on 25-26 July.

An M3.6 flare occurred with a peak time 07:42​ UTC on July 24, produced by AR 3751. Associated type II and type IV radio emissions were detected at 07:44​ UTC during the flaring activity. The associated CME will possibly have Earth directed components. Further analysis will be carried out once the corresponding LASCO coronagraph images are availble. No other Earth-directed CMEs were detected in the available coronagraph observations during the last 24 hours.

S1 (Minor) Radiation Storm 
A fast moving, impressive full halo coronal mass ejection (CME) was detected in the early hours of July 23. A minor (S1) radiation storm was in progress as proton levels streaming past Earth gradually increased. The minor (S1) radiation storm related to a large farsided eruption subsided after nearly 24 hours.

CME Impact
A weak CME passage on Tuesday failed to generate a geomagnetic storm. A watch remains in effect for now, however based on current solar wind conditions, it appears unlikely that storming will materialize.
