SDF Number 150 Issued at 2200Z on 30 May 2015

 

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 29/2100Z to 30/2100Z: Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. There are currently 2 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 (31 May, 01 Jun, 02 Jun).

 

IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 29/2100Z to 30/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, reached a peak speed of 482 km/s at 29/2133Z. Total IMF reached 6 nT at 30/0208Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -5 nT at 30/1044Z.
