SIDC SOLAR BULLETIN 16 Apr 2021, 1230UT
SIDC FORECAST (valid from 1230UT, 16 Apr 2021 until 18 Apr 2021)
SOLAR FLARES  : Quiet conditions (<50% probability of C-class flares)
GEOMAGNETISM  : Active conditions expected (A>=20 or K=4)
SOLAR PROTONS : Quiet
PREDICTIONS FOR 16 Apr 2021  10CM FLUX: 074 / AP: 014
PREDICTIONS FOR 17 Apr 2021  10CM FLUX: 075 / AP: 018
PREDICTIONS FOR 18 Apr 2021  10CM FLUX: 074 / AP: 008
COMMENT: Solar activity remained at very low levels over the last 24 hours.
Sunspot group Catania 86 (NOAA 2814) further increased its number of sun
spots, remaining magnetic type Beta. Two other unnumbered sunspot groups
are visible on the solar disc. One of them was reported to emerged on April
15th close to the centre and visible this morning around S22W15, while the
one rotated from the east limb, being close to S22E70. All three active
regions currently show low levels of activity. The flaring activity within
the next 24 hours is expected to remain low with some chance for C-class
flares.

No Earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs) were detected in the
available coronagraph imagery.

The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at nominal levels in the past 24
hours and is expected to remain so in the next 24 hours. The greater than
2MeV electron flux remained under the 1000 pfu threshold and is expected to
remain so. The 24h electron fluence was at nominal levels and is expected
to be predominantly at nominal in the next 24 hours.

Over the past 24 hours the solar wind parameters (ACE and DSCOVR)
registered slight enhancements due to the expected arrival of a high speed
stream (HSS) from a negative polarity coronal hole (CH). The total magnetic
field reached a magnitude of 10.5 nT with a minimum Bz of -7.4 nT. The
solar wind speed is gradually increasing, peaking at 488 km/s, and is
expected to increase further.

The geomagnetic conditions over the past 24 hours were quiet to unsettled.
Quiet to active geomagnetic conditions are expected in the next 24 hours
with a possibility for a minor geomagnetic storm.
TODAY'S ESTIMATED ISN  : 037, BASED ON 20 STATIONS.

Details

The SIDC ursigram starts with the code SIDC URSIGRAM YMMDD, where
Y is the last digit of the year number,
MM is the number of the month,
DD is the day of the month.

A forecast is given on:
the global flare probability,
geomagnetic disturbances,
solar proton events.
