SOLAR CYCLE ACTIVITY REPORT NOVEMBER 24
Solar activity remained at low levels during the past 24 hours. AR3151 continued to be the most active region and the largest event from the same region was a C1.6 class flare at 01:14 on November 23.
There are currently 4 active regions on the solar disk: AR3147, AR3149, AR3151 and new region AR3152
AR3148 is gone and new AR3152 located on the southeast (S26E57) is a group of 3 sunspots with size 10HM and a alfa magnetic field. It poses no threat for strong flares.
The total number of sunspots has increased to 68 (28 of these are grouped into 4 active regions) NOAA forecast for the next 24h is 45% chance for C flares, 10% chance for M flares and 1% chance for X flares.
● Auroral Activity
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. The solar wind speed record reached a peak of 339.8 km/sec at 00:00 UTC on November 22 The maximum planetary index Kp in the past 24h was Kp 2

BIG FARSIDE SUNSPOT: You might suppose that the farside of the sun is hidden from view. Not so. Researchers using a technique called "helioseismology" can make crude maps of the sun's hidden hemisphere. Their latest map reveals a huge farside active region:
The black blob is a sunspot group--a big one. In fact, only a handful of sunspot groups in the past 5 years have created a helioseismic echo this large. Don't be surprised if SOHO coronagraphs record a farside CME in the days ahead. SpaceWeather.com
