Geophysical report
Any mentioned solar flare in this report has a scaling factor applied by the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC). Because of the SWPC scaling factor, solar flares are reported as 42% smaller than for the science quality data. The scaling factor has been removed from our archived solar flare data to reflect the true physical units.

B. Proton Events
None.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field is likely to
become disturbed and reach unsettled levels, with an isolated period
of active conditions on days one and two (24-25 Dec) in response to
CH HSS effects. The geomagnetic response is expected to weaken to
primarily quiet to unsettled levels by day three (26 Dec) as CH HSS
effects wane.
