SDF Number 312 Issued at 2200Z on 07 Nov 2020

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z

Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. There are currently 1 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low with a slight chance for an M-class flare on days one, two, and three (08 Nov, 09 Nov, 10 Nov).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 541 km/s at 07/0416Z. Total IMF reached 7 nT at 07/0250Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -4 nT at 07/0651Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 967 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels on days one, two, and three (08 Nov, 09 Nov, 10 Nov).
