Joint USAF/NOAA Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast
SDF Number 27 Issued at 2200Z on 27 Jan 2025

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 26/2100Z to
27/2100Z: Solar activity has been at moderate levels for the past 24
hours. The largest solar event of the period was a M2 event observed at
27/0812Z. There are currently 7 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 day one (28 Jan) and expected to be low
with a slight chance for an M-class flare on days two and three (29 Jan,
30 Jan).

IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 26/2100Z to 27/2100Z: The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar
wind speed reached a peak of 456 km/s at 27/0124Z. Total IMF reached 9
nT at 27/1240Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -8 nT at
27/1240Z.  Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached
a peak level of 2531 pfu.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet levels on days one and three (28 Jan, 30 Jan) and quiet
to unsettled levels on day two (29 Jan).
