Joint USAF/NOAA Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast
SDF Number 114 Issued at 2200Z on 24 Apr 2025

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 23/2100Z to
24/2100Z: Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours.
There are currently 11 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 days one, two, and three (25 Apr, 26 Apr,
27 Apr).

IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 23/2100Z to 24/2100Z: The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar
wind speed reached a peak of 630 km/s at 24/0618Z. Total IMF reached 15
nT at 24/0618Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -10 nT at
24/1148Z.  Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached
a peak level of 734 pfu.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to active levels on day one (25 Apr), quiet levels on day
two (26 Apr) and quiet to unsettled levels on day three (27 Apr).
