Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 284 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Oct 2021IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours.
The largest solar event of the period was a C2 event observed at
10/2302Z. There are currently 3 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.

Solar activity is expected to be very low
with a chance for a C-class flares and a slight chance for an M-class
flare on days one, two, and three (12 Oct, 13 Oct, 14 Oct).

The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at unsettled to major storm levels on day one (12 Oct), quiet to
active levels on day two (13 Oct) and quiet levels on day three (14
