Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 50 Issued at 2200Z on 19 Feb 2021IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 18-2100Z to 19-2100Z Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24
hours. There are currently 1 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast

The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at unsettled to minor storm levels on day one (20 Feb), quiet to
active levels on day two (21 Feb) and quiet to unsettled levels on day
three (22 Feb).
