Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 13 - 19 October 2025
Solar activity was at moderate levels with 28 total M-class flares. 25 of these flares were produced by Region 4246 (N24, L=290, class/area=Ekc/840 on 16 Oct), the largest of which was an M4.8/Sf at 15/0415 UTC. Several of the flares from this region were the source of partially Earth-directed CMEs as flanking ejecta impacted the near-Earth environment on 17-18 Oct. Region 4248 (N07, L=261, class/area=Eki/310 on 15 Oct) also produced an M2.0 flare at 14/1247 UTC. These regions were classified as beta-gamma-delta. The remaining regions during this highlight period produced C-class activity but were otherwise unremarkable.
No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels on 13-17 Oct due in response to an extended period of coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) influences. Normal to moderate levels were reached on 18-19 Oct.
Geomagnetic field activity reached G2 (Moderate) storm levels and periods of G1 (Minor) storm levels on 18 Oct, and an early period of G1 storm levels on 19 Oct due to influences from what was possibly combined CMEs that left the Sun between 13-15 Oct. G1 storm levels were also observed on 13 Oct due to CH HSS influences. An isolated active period was observed on 15 Oct due to declining CH HSS influence and . Quiet to unsettled levels were observed on 14, 16-17 Oct.
Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 20 October - 15 November 2025
Solar activity is expected to be at moderate levels on 31 Oct - 15 Nov due to the return of Region 4246. Low levels are expected to prevail on 20 Oct - 30 Oct, and 14-15 Nov.
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 21-25 Oct, and 29 Oct - 15 Nov due to responses from recurent CH HSS influences .
Geomagnetic field activity is expected to reach G1-G2 (Minor-Moderate) storm levels on 28-30 Oct and 08-09, and 15 Nov due to recurrent CH HSS influences. Isolated active periods are expeced on 20, 31 Oct, and 07 Nov also due to recurrent CH HSS activity. Quiet to unsettled levels are expeced on the remaining days of the outlook period.
