More C-class flares can be expected. This flare was related to a halo CME, with a speed of ~900 km/s, radio bursts were also detected (type II and III). The bulk of the CME material was seen traveling towards the west, but a glancing blow at the Earth (most probably a shock and sheath) is possible on April 12. Geomagnetic conditions are quiet, the CME from April 5 missed the Earth. A fast solar wind from a recurrent coronal hole is expected at the Earth in about 48h, this may increase geomagnetic conditions to active levels with possible isolated minor storm periods.
