[Regnum] Solar flare activity may drop to zero by November 15. This was reported on November 12 by the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Solar Terrestrial Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

They noted that solar active center No. 4566 is already moving beyond the western edge. Its influence from the current perspective is almost negligible.

"By the end of the week, it will completely move to the far side of the Sun. After that, if nothing new ignites on the star, the flare schedule will objectively drop to zero, since there's nothing active on the star except this region right now," the lab reported on Telegram.

On November 5, specialists discovered one of the largest coronal holes observed in 2026 on the Sun, measuring approximately 1 million km. They warned that solar wind streams from this region could trigger magnetic storms for several days. According to preliminary calculations, the impact could last for about five days, with complete stabilization of the Earth's magnetic field expected by November 13-14.

On October 11, scientists recorded a G3 magnetic storm, the strongest in the past three months. The last disturbance of this intensity was observed on July 4.
