Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 359 Issued at 2200Z on 25 Dec 2022IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours.
The largest solar event of the period was a C7 event observed at
25/0701Z from Region 3169 (N21W32). There are currently 6 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.

a peak level of 1433 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to unsettled levels on day one (26 Dec), unsettled to
minor storm levels on day two (27 Dec) and unsettled to active levels on
day three (28 Dec).
