An M6.9 solar flare peaked at 10h02 UT 25 Aug. A moderate R2 radio blackout affected Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

UPDATE: A type II radio emission and a 10cm radio burst has been detected, indicating the release of a CME.

The flare originated from Earth-facing active region AR4513.

A large coronal hole in the southern hemisphere is also present and there's a chance we may get some influence from its fast solar wind stream.
