SDF Number 148 Issued at 2200Z on 28 May 2022

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 27-2100Z to 28-2100Z

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C1 event observed at 28/1904Z from Region 3021 (N13W10). There are currently 3 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 (29 May, 30 May, 31 May).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 27-2100Z to 28-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to minor storm levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 571 km/s at 28/0442Z. Total IMF reached 11 nT at 27/2317Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -9 nT at 27/2143Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 150 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to active levels on day one (29 May), unsettled levels on day two (30 May) and quiet to unsettled levels on day three (31 May).
