SDF Number 255 Issued at 2200Z on 12 Sep 2021

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 11-2100Z to 12-2100Z

Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. 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 and two (13 Sep, 14 Sep) and expected to be very low with a chance for a C-class flares and a slight chance for an M-class flare on day three (15 Sep).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 11-2100Z to 12-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 405 km/s at 12/2059Z. Total IMF reached 10 nT at 11/2103Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -7 nT at 12/0834Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 158 pfu.
