SDF Number 331 Issued at 2200Z on 26 Nov 2020

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 25-2100Z to 26-2100Z

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C3 event observed at 26/1253Z from Region 2786 (S17E41). There are currently 3 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, two, and three (27 Nov, 28 Nov, 29 Nov).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 25-2100Z to 26-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 477 km/s at 26/1704Z. Total IMF reached 8 nT at 26/1313Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -6 nT at 26/1313Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 1803 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on day one (27 Nov) and quiet levels on days two and three (28 Nov, 29 Nov).
