Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 115 Issued at 2200Z on 25 Apr 2021IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours.
The largest solar event of the period was a C2 event observed at
25/0135Z from Region 2816 (S22W65). There are currently 4 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast

field has been at quiet to minor storm levels for the past 24 hours.
Solar wind speed reached a peak of 503 km/s at 25/2051Z. Total IMF
reached 10 nT at 24/2318Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached
-9 nT at 24/2349Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit
reached a peak level of 3082 pfu.

The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to active levels on day one (26 Apr) and quiet levels on
days two and three (27 Apr, 28 Apr).
