Next 24 Hours

• Radio Blackouts Probability

  • Minor: 80
  • Major: 35
  • Risk: None

• Solar Radiation

  • Probability: 20
  • Risk: None

• Geomagnetic Storming

  • Scale: 3
  • Impact: strong
  • Activity: High

• Impact Summary

  • Next 24 hours: No risk of radio blackouts.
  • No risk of solar radiation storms.
  • High geomagnetic activity with strong geomagnetic storms expected.
  • G1-G3 (Minor-Strong) geomagnetic storms likely on 07 Nov, and G1-G2 (Minor-Moderate) on 08 Nov, due to the effects of a coronal hole combined with multiple CMEs.
  • A slight chance exists for S1 (Minor) or greater solar radiation storms over 07-09 Nov due primarily to the eruptive potential of Region 4274.
  • R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts expected, with a chance for R3 (Strong), due primarily to the flare potential of Region 4274.

Long Term Forecast

• Impact Summary
  • Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity from 03 November to 29 November 2025.
  • Solar activity expected to be at moderate levels on 03-17 Nov as Regions 4246 and 4248 rotate into the Earthside solar disk.
  • At least two other regions expected to emerge until 10 Nov, potentially maintaining moderate activity levels through 29 Nov if they show significant magnetic complexity.
  • No proton events anticipated at geosynchronous orbit; however, an isolated proton event is possible between 07-12 Nov if Regions 4246 and 4248 display enhanced magnetic complexity.
  • Greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit expected to remain high until 13 Nov, with moderate levels from 14-26 Nov, and high levels returning on 27 Nov.
  • Geomagnetic field activity expected to be mostly quiet to active, with minor storming (G1) likely on 07-08, 15, and 26-27 Nov due to recurring coronal hole high-speed stream influences.
