NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 4 (below NOAA Scale levels). The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Oct 05-Oct 07 2025 is 4.67 (NOAA Scale G1).

B. NOAA Solar Radiation Activity Observation and Forecast Solar radiation, as observed by NOAA GOES-18 over the past 24 hours, was below S-scale storm level thresholds.

Solar activity was at low levels. Region 4242 (S11E13, Dai/beta) produced the largest flare of the period, a C5.4 flare at 04/0142 UTC. Regions 4236 (N10W43, Ekc/beta-gamma) and 4232 (N04W34, Dhi/beta) remained the largest and most complex. A Type II radio sweep (est. 284 km/s) was reported beginning at 04/1643 UTC and appears to be associated with eruptive activity around the Suns west limb. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery. .Forecast... Solar flare activity is likely to remain at moderate levels (R1-R2/Minor-Moderate), with a slight chance for strong (R3-Strong), over 05-07 Oct. Energetic Particle .24 hr Summary... The greater than 2 MeV electron flux measured by the GOES-19 satellite reached high levels, with a peak flux of 14,337 pfu due to persistent +CH HSS effects. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux, as measured by the GOES-18 satellite, remained below the S1 (Minor) threshold over the past 24 hrs. .Forecast... The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to remain at high levels as the CH HSS continues over 05-07 Oct. There is a slight chance the greater than 10 MeV proton flux reaches the S1 (minor) threshold due to the presence of multiple magnetically complex active regions on the visible disk. Solar Wind .24 hr Summary... The solar wind near Earth continued to reflect the influence of a positive polarity CH HSS. Phi angle were oriented in a positive solar sector. Wind speeds generally varied between 550-700 km/s during the period. The total Interplanetary Magnetic Field (Bt) remained around 5 nT, with north/south (Bz) component between -/+ 5 nT. .Forecast... Solar wind parameters are expected to continue at elevated, but waning levels over 05-06 Oct due to ongoing CH HSS influence. An additional enhancement is likely on 07 Sep due to the anticipated arrival of two slow-moving CMEs that left the Sun on 03 Oct. Geospace .24 hr Summary... The geomagnetic field reached active levels due to ongoing CH HSS influence. .Forecast... The geomagnetic field is expected to reach active levels, with a chance for G1 (Minor) storming, over 05-06 Oct under continued CH HSS influence. Periods of G1 (Minor) storming are likely on 07 Oct due to the anticipated arrival of two slow-moving CMEs that left the Sun on 03 Oct.
