SDF Number 300 Issued at 2200Z on 27 Oct 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
26/2324Z. There are currently 5 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
