Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
17 - 23 February 2025

Solar activity was at low levels on 18-20 and 22 Feb, moderate
levels on 17 and 21 Feb, and reached high levels on 23 Feb. In
total, seven M-class flares (R1-Minor) were observed, ranging from
M1.0 to M4.9, and one X-class (R3-Strong) flare. Contributing
regions were 3992 (S06, L=246, class/area Eai/090 on 17 Feb), 3998
(S14, L=114, class/area Ekc/290 on 23 Feb), 4000 (N17, L=105,
class/area Dai/180 on 22 Feb), and 4001 (N24, L=176, class/area
Dai/050 on 23 Feb). The sole X flare was an X2.0 from Region 4001 at
23/1927 UTC.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached
high levels on 17-18 Feb due to persistent negative polarity CH
influence, and was at normal to moderate levels on 19-23 Feb.

Geomagnetic field activity reached G1 (Minor) storm levels on 18-19
Feb, and saw an isolated active period on 20 Feb, due to persistent
negative polarity CH influence. Conditions were at quiet to
unsettled levels 21-23 Feb as CH effects dissipated.
