Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity

SDF Number 172 Issued at 2200Z on 21 Jun 2025

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 20-2100Z to 21-2100Z

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. There are currently 6 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is likely to be moderate with a slight chance for an X-class flare on days one, two, and three (22 Jun, 23 Jun, 24 Jun).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 20-2100Z to 21-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 600 km/s at 21/0732Z. Total IMF reached 9 nT at 21/1657Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -7 nT at 21/1525Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 1150 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on day one (22 Jun) and quiet to active levels on days two and three (23 Jun, 24 Jun). Protons have a slight chance of crossing threshold on days one, two, and three (22 Jun, 23 Jun, 24 Jun).
