Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 8 Issued at 2200Z on 08 Jan 2022IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 07-2100Z to 08-2100Z Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours.
The largest solar event of the period was a C2 event observed at
07/2210Z from Region 2924 (S31E06). There are currently 2 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.

The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to active levels on day one (09 Jan), unsettled to active
levels on day two (10 Jan) and quiet to unsettled levels on day three
