Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 105 Issued at 2200Z on 14 Apr 2024IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z Solar activity has been at moderate levels for the past 24
hours. The largest solar event of the period was a M4 event observed at
14/0232Z from Region 3637 (S12E53). There are currently 10 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast

a peak level of 484 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to minor storm levels on day one (15 Apr), quiet to
unsettled levels on day two (16 Apr) and quiet levels on day three (17
