Have the vagaries of space weather become record-breaking and what consequences can we expect from them?

On April 24, the IKI RAS reported that a flare of the highest score, X2.5, was registered on the Sun. According to the institute, the flare was accompanied by a large plasma release. However, the center of the explosion was shifted to the edge of the Sun, and the plasma went sideways, because of this, there is a high probability that the event will be neutral for the Earth.
