SDF Number 329 Issued at 2200Z on 25 Nov 2023

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C5 event observed at 24/2219Z from Region 3490 (N20W03). There are currently 12 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low with a chance for M-class flares on days one, two, and three (26 Nov, 27 Nov, 28 Nov).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at unsettled to major storm levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 613 km/s at 25/2054Z. Total IMF reached 18 nT at 25/0830Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -15 nT at 25/0827Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 329 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to minor storm levels on day one (26 Nov), quiet to active levels on day two (27 Nov) and quiet to unsettled levels on day three (28 Nov).
