Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 208 Issued at 2200Z on 27 Jul 2023IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z Solar activity has been at moderate levels for the past 24
hours. The largest solar event of the period was a M1 event observed at
27/0951Z from Region 3376 (N22W96). There are currently 11 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.

Solar activity is expected to be low with
a chance for M-class flares on days one, two, and three (28 Jul, 29 Jul,
30 Jul).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z
The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar
wind speed reached a peak of 548 km/s at 26/2307Z. Total IMF reached 7
nT at 27/0232Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -2 nT at

a peak level of 661 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet levels on days one and two (28 Jul, 29 Jul) and quiet to
active levels on day three (30 Jul).
