The light of the flare can reach us in 8 minutes, the particles and radiation are slower from 18 hours to several days depending on the types of particles and flare. Solar wind is roughly 400 to 500 km/sec and can 15 hours to 4 days depending on fast or slow solar wind types. CME particles 18 hours to 3 days.
