An X1.5 solar flare at 14:29 UTC (Jul 3). This is now the largest solar flare of Cycle 25, at least in terms of peak X-Ray flux. The region also produced an impulsive M2.7 @ 07:17 UTC (Jul 3). Because AR 2838 is already approaching the west limb, any associated CME activity would likely be directed away from Earth. Elsewhere, large AR 2835 located in the SW quadrant remained mostly stable with only very small B-Class flares detected. There will remain a chance for at least another moderate M-Flare during the next 24 hours. https://www.solarham.net/pictures/2021/jul3_2021_x1.5.jpg
