807 FXXX06 KWNP 250226 WEKHIL :Product: 7-day Space Weather Highlights :Issued: 2024 Nov 25 0217 UTC # Prepared by the US Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center # Product description and SWPC contact on the Web # https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/content/subscription-services # # 7-day Space Weather Highlights # Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 18 - 24 November 2024 Solar activity ranged from low to moderate levels this period. R1 (Minor) radio blackouts were observed on 18 Nov, 20 Nov and 22-24 Nov. Numerous regions produced R1 (Minor) activity, but a majority of the M-class flares were produced from Regions 3897 (S12, L=347, class/area Dao/220 on 20 Nov) and 3901 (S08, L=218, class/area Dao/200 on 19 Nov). The largest event of the period was an M3.7 at 18/1253 UTC produced by Region 3901. During the period, a total of 49 C-class and 15 M-flares were observed. A 10 MeV proton event at geosynchronous orbit was observed on 21-22 Nov. The S1 (Minor) event began at 21/1925 UTC, reached a peak of S2 (Moderate) of 125 pfu at 22/0355 UTC and ended at 22/1845 UTC. A 100 MeV proton event at geosynchoronous orbit was observed on 21-22 Nov. The event began at 21/1845 UTC, reached a peak of 7.4 pfu at 21/2010 UTC and ended at 22/0305 UTC. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at normal to moderate levels. Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to active levels. Unsettled levels were observed on 19-23 Nov with isolated active levels observed on 19 Nov, 22 Nov and 24 Nov. On 19 Nov, the field was influenced by waning positive coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) effects and weak effects from a 14 Nov CME. On 20-23 Nov, the field was influenced by negative polarity CH HSS effects. The solar wind environment was pretty steady throughout the highlight period. Total field varied between 3-13 nT, while the Bz component varied between +8 nT to -10 nT. The wind field was steady at 400 km/s +/-50 km/s. The phi angle was in a positive sector through 20 Nov and negative through the rest of the highlight period.
