SOLAR CYCLE 25 ACTIVITY REPORT APRIL 29_2023
Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C6 event observed at 16:00 UTC on April 28 from Region 3289 (N20E37)
There are currently 7 numbered sunspot regions on the solar disk: AR3285, AR3286, AR3288, AR3289, AR3290, AR3291, AR3292
The total number of sunspots has decreased to 111 (54 of these are grouped into 7 active regions) NOAA forecasts for the next 24h: 95% chance for C flares, 25% chance for M flares and 1% chance for X flares.
Active region 3288 has developed a beta-gamma-delta magnetic field and harbors energy for M-class solar flares
● Auroral Activity
The geomagnetic field has been at unsettled to active levels for the past 24 hours. solar wind speed reached a peak of 740 km/s (High speed) at 13:22 UTC on April 25 Maximum planetary index Kp 4
Aurora Oval Bz: 3.05 nT North
● Current Conditions at 04:30 UTC on April 29
▪︎ Geospace unsettled
▪︎ Geomagnetic conditions now : Kp 3
▪︎ Solar wind speed record: 640 km/sec (Moderately high speed)
▪︎ density: 1.73 p/cm³ (low density)
▪︎ Neutron Counts today: -0.5% (Below Average)
▪︎ X-ray Solar Flare: C6 at 23:33 UTC
▪︎ Sunspot number: 111 (SN 136 April 28)
▪︎ Spotless Days 2023 total: 0 days (0%)
