SDF Number 297 Issued at 2200Z on 24 Oct 2022

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C4 event observed at 24/0802Z from Region 3126 (S10W51). 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 (25 Oct, 26 Oct, 27 Oct).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 593 km/s at 23/2136Z. Total IMF reached 11 nT at 23/2219Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -7 nT at 24/0043Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 103 pfu.
