:Product: 0825RSGA.txt :Issued: 2017 Aug 25 2200 UTC # Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, # Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force. # Joint USAF/NOAA Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast SDF Number 237 Issued at 2200Z on 25 Aug 2017 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24/2100Z to 25/2100Z: Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C5 event observed at 25/0727Z from Region 2672 (N07E05). There are currently 2 numbered sunspot regions on the disk. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is likely to be low with a slight chance for an M-class flare on days one and two (26 Aug, 27 Aug) and expected to be very low with a chance for a C-class flares and a slight chance for an M-class flare on day three (28 Aug). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 24/2100Z to 25/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 388 km/s at 25/0136Z. Total IMF reached 6 nT at 25/2047Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -4 nT at 25/1039Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 7705 pfu. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels on days one and two (26 Aug, 27 Aug) and quiet to unsettled levels on day three (28 Aug). III.
