SDF Number 327 Issued at 2200Z on 22 Nov 2020

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 21-2100Z to 22-2100Z

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C1 event observed at 22/0927Z. There are currently 3 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 (23 Nov, 24 Nov, 25 Nov).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 21-2100Z to 22-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at unsettled to minor storm levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 649 km/s at 22/1049Z. Total IMF reached 12 nT at 21/2212Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -10 nT at 22/0440Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 1002 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to minor storm levels on day one (23 Nov), quiet to unsettled levels on day two (24 Nov) and quiet to active levels on day three (25 Nov).
