Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity 2025 Dec 04 2200 UTCPrepared by the NOAA © SWPC and processed by SpaceWeatherLive.com
Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 338 Issued at 2200Z on 04 Dec 2025IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z Solar activity has been at high levels for the past 24 hours.
There are currently 7 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be moderate
with a chance for X-class flares on days one, two, and three (05 Dec, 06
Dec, 07 Dec).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z
The geomagnetic
field has been at active to minor storm levels for the past 24 hours.
Solar wind speed reached a peak of 771 km/s at 04/1112Z. Total IMF
reached 22 nT at 03/2231Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached
-13 nT at 04/0226Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous
orbit reached a peak level of 446 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at unsettled to active levels on day one (05 Dec), quiet to active
levels on day two (06 Dec) and quiet to minor storm levels on day three
(07 Dec). Protons have a slight chance of crossing threshold on days
one, two, and three (05 Dec, 06 Dec, 07 Dec).
