Near and Far Side Solar Imagery on 18 May 2026

Lack of noteworthy sunspots & low solar activity calls for only a chance of M-class flares (R1-R2 events) the next three days. However, solar far-side imagery from NASA Solar Orbiter means the forecast could change for 20 May and beyond. Stay aware by continuing to visit our SWPC webpage and following our 3-Day Forecasts
