IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 25-2100Z to 26-2100Z

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C3 event observed at 26/0743Z from Region 3490 (N22W27). There are currently 11 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 (27 Nov, 28 Nov, 29 Nov).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 25-2100Z to 26-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 626 km/s at 25/2152Z. Total IMF reached 9 nT at 25/2102Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -6 nT at 26/0040Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 107 pfu.
