SDF Number 265 Issued at 2200Z on 22 Sep 2011
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  21/2100Z
to 22/2100Z:  Activity was high. New Region 1302 (N11E74) produced a
long-duration X1/2n flare at 22/1101Z. The X1 flare was associated
with Types II and IV radio sweeps, a 970 sfu Tenflare, and a full
halo CME. The CME, already in progress in SOHO LASCO images at
22/1330Z, had an estimated speed of around 1392 km/s. This CME is
not expected to be geoeffective.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be high,
with a slight chance for another X-class flare from Region 1302.
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 21/2100Z to 22/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet on days one and two (23-24 September). Quiet to
unsettled levels, with isolated active levels at high latitudes, are
expected on day three (25 September), due to a weak coronal hole
high-speed stream.
