Solar activity has been at active levels during the past 24 hours, featuring one M1.1 flare from sunspot region 1536 peaking at 15:48 UT on July 30th, and six C flares from regions 1526, 11532 and 11535. C-level flares are expected within the next 48 hours, with a chance for an M-class flare.
Both C and M-class flares had associated Type II (estimated speeds of 730 and 880 km/s, respectively) and Type IV shock wave along with coronal mass ejections seen off the eastern limb of the Sun.

Another CME was observed in LASCO C2 imagery off the southwest limb associated with a filament eruption seen in SDO/AIA 171 imagery at 31/0846Z. None of the CMEs are expected to be geoeffective. New Region 1537 rotated onto the northeast limb and was numbered today.
