Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 103 Issued at 2200Z on 13 Apr 2022IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 12-2100Z to 13-2100Z 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 expected to be very low
with a slight chance for a C-class flare on day one (14 Apr) and
expected to be very low with a chance for a C-class flares on days two
and three (15 Apr, 16 Apr).

The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at unsettled to major storm levels on day one (14 Apr), quiet to
minor storm levels on day two (15 Apr) and quiet to active levels on day
three (16 Apr).
