Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 102 Issued at 2200Z on 12 Apr 2022IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 11-2100Z to 12-2100Z Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours.
The largest solar event of the period was a C3 event observed at
12/0649Z. There are currently 2 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low
with a slight chance for a C-class flare on days one and two (13 Apr, 14
Apr) and expected to be very low with a chance for a C-class flares on
day three (15 Apr).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 11-2100Z to 12-2100Z

a peak level of 1643 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to active levels on day one (13 Apr), unsettled to major
storm levels on day two (14 Apr) and quiet to minor storm levels on day
three (15 Apr).
