"M1.2 solar flare, C7.0 solar flare
Sunday, 20 August 2017 - 07:31 UTC
A new sunspot region is now rotating into view of the north-east limb. It should receive sunspot number 2672 later today or tomorrow. This could be yet another sunspot region with potential to produce strong solar flares as it made itself known this night with an M1.2 solar flare that peaked at 01:52 UTC. "
