Solar Active Regions and flaring

Solar flaring activity was high over the past 24 hours with 8 M-class flares recorded. SIDC Sunspot Group 349 (NOAA Active Region 3936) is the most complex with a Beta-Gamma-Delta magnetic configuration and produced the largest flare, an M5.0 flare (SIDC Flare 3139) peaking on December 30 at 16:54 UTC. This region also produced an M3.5 flare (SIDC Flare 3138) peaking on December 30 at 14:46 UTC, but has started to decay. SIDC Sunspot Group 341 (NOAA Active Region 3932) and SIDC Sunspot Groups 351 (NOAA AR 3939) produced low level M-class flares over the last 24 hours. The solar flaring activity is expected to be moderate over the next 24 hours, with C-class flares expected, M-class flares likely and X-class flares possible.

Eyección de masa coronal

No new Earth-directed Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) were detected in the available coronagraph imagery.

Agujeros coronales

SIDC Coronal Hole 60 (mid-latitude coronal hole with a positive polarity) began to cross the central meridian on December 31.

Viento solar

Over the past 24 hours the solar wind conditions reflected a predominantly slow solar wind regime. The interplanetary magnetic field was stable around 7 nT until 02:30 on December 31 when is increased slightly to values around 11 nT, with a minimum Bz of -9 nT. The solar wind speed ranged between 330 km/s and 380 km/s. The interplanetary magnetic field phi angle was in the positive sector (directed away from the Sun). An enhancement of the solar wind speed and magnetic field is expected from late on December 31 and continuing on January 01, due to the anticipated arrival of the CMEs observed on December 29.

Geomagnetism

The geomagnetic conditions over the past 24 hours were quiet to unsettled. Minor to moderate geomagnetic storm conditions are possible from late on December 31 and on January 01 due to the anticipated CME arrivals.

Proton flux levels

The greater than 10 MeV GOES proton flux was below the 10 pfu threshold and is expected to remain so. However, due to the number of complex regions on disk and the high flaring probability, a possible proton event over the next days cannot be excluded.

Electron fluxes at geostationary orbit

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux as measured by GOES 18 was below the 1000 pfu threshold and is expected to remain below this threshold over the next 24 hours. The 24h electron fluence was at nominal levels and is expected to remain so in the next 24 hours.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 194, based on 07 stations.
