> The flare activity began from Region 3614 (to the north), and was still in progress when another flare erupted from Region 3615 (to the south). It's tough to say with certainty at this point which flare was the source of R3 levels, but the flare from 3614 appears to have a likely coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with it.
Region 3615 has been very active: produced an R2 / M-6.7 4 days ago [0] (when it had just rotated into view) and then another R2 / M-7.4 2 days ago [1].
