Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 128 Issued at 2200Z on 08 May 2022IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 07-2100Z to 08-2100Z Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours.
The largest solar event of the period was a C8 event observed at
08/1938Z from Region 3007 (S23E64). There are currently 5 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low with
a chance for M-class flares on days one, two, and three (09 May, 10 May,
11 May).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 07-2100Z to 08-2100Z

IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet levels on day one (09 May) and quiet to unsettled levels
on days two and three (10 May, 11 May).
