Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity

SDF Number 148 Issued at 2200Z on 28 May 2021

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 27-2100Z to 28-2100Z

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C7 event observed at 27/2315Z from Region 2824 (N20W55). There are currently 2 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 day one (29 May) and expected to be very low with a chance for a C-class flares on day two (30 May) and expected to be very low with a slight chance for a C-class flare on day three (31 May).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 27-2100Z to 28-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 455 km/s at 28/0257Z. Total IMF reached 8 nT at 28/0255Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -2 nT at 28/1611Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 178 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels on days one and three (29 May, 31 May) and quiet to unsettled levels on day two (30 May).
