Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 60 Issued at 2200Z on 01 Mar 2025IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 28-2100Z to 01-2100Z Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours.
The largest solar event of the period was a C6 event observed at
01/0830Z from Region 4010 (N24E19). There are currently 7 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast

a peak level of 618 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to active levels on day one (02 Mar), quiet to unsettled
levels on day two (03 Mar) and quiet levels on day three (04 Mar).
