Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 23 - 29 October 2023

Solar activity reached moderate levels on 26 Oct due to an M1.4 flare at 26/2324 UTC from the SE limb; the largest event of the period. Low levels of solar activity and C-class flares were observed throughout the remainder of the week. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed. 

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at normal to moderate levels over 23-28 Oct, with high levels observed on 29 Oct following a prolonged period of increased geomagnetic field activity and enhanced solar wind conditions. 

Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet levels with ambient solar wind conditions observed over 23-25 Oct. The effects of a CIR followed by positive polarity CH HSS influences produced periods of G1 (Minor) storm conditions on 26 Oct, and active conditions on 27 Oct. The onset of another CIR followed by positive polarity CH HSS influences resulted in active conditions on 28 Oct, and periods of G1 (Minor) storms on 29 Oct. 

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 30 October - 25 November 2023

Solar activity is expected to be at low levels with a varying chance for M-class (R1-R2) flare activity throughout the outlook period. 

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to reach high levels on 30 Oct-05 Nov and 25 Nov. Normal to moderate flux levels are expected throughout the remainder of the period. 

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to reach G1 (Minor) storm levels on 30 Oct, and active levels on 31 Oct, in response to positive polarity CH HSS influences. Active conditions are expected on 09 Nov due to negative polarity CH HSS influences. Positive polarity CH HSS effects are expected to result in active levels on 22 and 24-25 Nov. Quiet and quiet to unsettled conditions are expected throughout the remainder of the outlook period.

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 25 September - 01 October 2023

Solar activity was at low levels over 25-27 and 29 Sep with only C-class flare activity observed. Moderate activity levels were observed on 28, 30 Sep, and 01 Oct due to R1 (Minor) events from regions that emerged in the eastern hemisphere during the latter

half of the week. Region 3450 (S19, L=329, class/area=Eai/180 on 01 Oct) produced an M1.2/Sf flare at 28/0907 UTC. Region 3451 (N14, L=300, class/area=Dai/80 on 30 Sep) produced an M1.2 flare at 30/1635 UTC. Region 3452 (N11, L=300, class/area=Dai/120 on 01 Oct) produced an M2.5 flare at 01/0132 UTC. CMEs associated with the above-mentioned M-flare activity were all determined to be misses directed east of the Sun-Earth line. A CME associated with a C9.9 flare at 25/0813 UTC from Region 3445 (S14, L=075,

class/area=Dai/220 on 25 Sep) resulted in a glancing blow arrival on 29 Sep. No other Earth-directed CMEs were detected. 

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels on 27-30 Sep, with moderate levels observed throughout the remainder of the period. 

Geomagnetic field activity reached G1 (Minor) storm levels on 25-26 Sep, and active levels on 27 Sep, due to effects associated with the passage of CMEs from 22 Sep as well as likely negative polarity CH HSS influences. Quiet and unsettled conditions were observed on 28 Sep. Active conditions were observed on 29 Sep in response to the arrival of a CME from 25 Sep. Quiet to unsettled conditions were observed on 30 Sep, with quiet to active conditions observed on 01 Oct, due to prolonged periods of southward magnetic field. 

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 02 October - 28 October 2023

Solar activity is expected to be low with a chance for M-class flare activity throughout the period. 

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to reach high levels on 03-07 Oct, with normal to moderate levels expected for the remainder of the outlook period. 

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to reach active levels on 02-03, and 05 Oct due to positive polarity CH HSS influences. Quiet and quiet to unsettled levels are expected to persist throughout the remainder of the period.
