Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity

SDF Number 331 Issued at 2200Z on 26 Nov 2024

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 25-2100Z to 26-2100Z

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C9 event observed at 26/0023Z from Region 3906 (S16E19). There are currently 9 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is likely to be moderate with a slight chance for an X-class flare on days one, two, and three (27 Nov, 28 Nov, 29 Nov).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 25-2100Z to 26-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 392 km/s at 26/0217Z. Total IMF reached 8 nT at 26/0814Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -6 nT at 26/0048Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 165 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels on day one (27 Nov), quiet to minor storm levels on day two (28 Nov) and unsettled to major storm levels on day three (29 Nov). Protons have a slight chance of crossing threshold on days one, two, and three (27 Nov, 28 Nov, 29 Nov).
