spaceweather.com says that yesterday 7th May, :-
THE SUN HIT EARTH WITH A RADIO BURST: New sunspot AR2822 appeared today and promptly exploded, producing one of the strongest flares of young Solar Cycle 25. The M3.9-class explosion hurled a bright CME into space and hit Earth with a shortwave radio burst. Listen to the static and find out what comes next @ Spaceweather.com.
I for one, expected this, as this has been happening whilst the AR was on the dark-side...
Currently consisting of 5-spots, there seems to be a possibility of a decay in progress...
