Artyom Abunin, head of the IZMIRAN Space Weather Forecast Center, said that there are several dozen average solar flares per day. He said that the current time falls on the maximum of solar activity, so over the course of two years there are quite a lot of flares.
Abunin also noted that the high-class flare that occurred on the Sun on January 29 is not dangerous and will not entail magnetic storms. The substance that flew out flew away from the Earth.
