SDF Number 308 Issued at 2200Z on 04 Nov 2021IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours.
The largest solar event of the period was a C3 event observed at
04/1055Z. 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 on days one, two, and three (05 Nov,

at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 1173 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at unsettled to active levels on day one (05 Nov), quiet to active
levels on day two (06 Nov) and quiet levels on day three (07 Nov).
