Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity

SDF Number 244 Issued at 2200Z on 01 Sep 2025

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 31-2100Z to 01-2100Z

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. There are currently 10 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 (02 Sep, 03 Sep, 04 Sep).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 31-2100Z to 01-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 676 km/s at 01/2039Z. Total IMF reached 25 nT at 01/2030Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -7 nT at 01/2031Z. Protons greater than 10 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 6 pfu at 01/1010Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 414 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at active to severe storm levels on day one (02 Sep), quiet to active levels on day two (03 Sep) and quiet to unsettled levels on day three (04 Sep). Protons are likely to cross threshold on day one (02 Sep) and have a slight chance of crossing threshold on days two and three (03 Sep, 04 Sep).
