SDF Number 275 Issued at 2200Z on 02 Oct 2021IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 01-2100Z to 02-2100Z Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24
hours. There are currently 2 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low
with a chance for a C-class flares and a slight chance for an M-class
flare on day one (03 Oct) and expected to be very low with a chance for
a C-class flares on days two and three (04 Oct, 05 Oct).
