SDF Number 113 Issued at 2200Z on 23 Apr 2022

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 22-2100Z to 23-2100Z

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 23/1942Z from Region 2994 (N14W12). There are currently 7 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low with a chance for M-class flares and a slight chance for an X-class flare on days one, two, and three (24 Apr, 25 Apr, 26 Apr).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 22-2100Z to 23-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 517 km/s at 23/1422Z. Total IMF reached 6 nT at 23/0820Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -6 nT at 23/0924Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 533 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on days one and two (24 Apr, 25 Apr) and quiet levels on day three (26 Apr).
