Joint USAF/NOAA Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast SDF Number 305 Issued at 2200Z on 01 Nov 2022
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 31/2100Z to 01/2100Z: Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. There are currently 5 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is likely to be low with a slight chance for an M-class flare on days one, two, and three (02 Nov, 03 Nov, 04 Nov).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 31/2100Z to 01/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 514 km/s at 31/2227Z. Total IMF reached 5 nT at 31/2107Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -4 nT at 01/0603Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 1783 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to active levels on day one (02 Nov) and quiet to unsettled levels on days two and three (03 Nov, 04 Nov).
