SIDC SOLAR BULLETIN 07 Sep 2024, 1240UT
SIDC FORECAST 
SOLAR FLARES  : M-class flares expected (probability >=50%)
GEOMAGNETISM  : Quiet (A<20 and K<4)
SOLAR PROTONS : Quiet
PREDICTIONS FOR 07 Sep 2024  10CM FLUX: 239 / AP: 010
PREDICTIONS FOR 08 Sep 2024  10CM FLUX: 239 / AP: 015
PREDICTIONS FOR 09 Sep 2024  10CM FLUX: 239 / AP: 007

Solar Active Regions and flaring: Solar flaring activity was at moderate
levels over the past 24 hours, with several C-class flares and one M-class
flare. The strongest was an M1.7 flare from NOAA active region (AR) 3813,
which peaked at 07:46 UTC on September 7. The most magnetically complex
active regions currently on the disk are NOAA AR 3806 (beta-gamma-delta),
AR 3813 (beta-gamma), and the newly emerged AR 3815 (beta-gamma). Solar
flaring activity is expected to remain at moderate levels over the next 24
hours, with the possibility of an M-class flare and a chance for isolated
X-class flares.

Coronal mass ejections: No Earth-directed coronal mass ejection (CME) was
detected in LASCO/C2 coronagraph images over the past 24 hours.

Solar wind: The solar wind parameters reflect a slow wind speed regime. The
total interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) ranged between 5 nT and 8 nT,
slightly increasing over the last 6 hours and reaching 10 nT. The southward
IMF component (Bz) fluctuated between -7 nT and +9 nT. The solar wind speed
remained around 335-430 km/s. Solar wind conditions are expected to become
more enhanced in the next 24 hours due to the September 3 coronal mass
ejection, combined with the high-speed stream from the small negative
polarity coronal hole that crossed the central meridian on September 3.

Geomagnetism: Geomagnetic conditions were quiet both globally and locally,
with some periods of unsettled conditions (NOAA Kp and K-Dourbes indices of
1-3). Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected in the next 24 hours, with
possible active periods in response to the anticipated enhancement of solar
wind conditions.

Proton flux levels: The greater than 10 MeV GOES proton flux has now
returned to background levels. It is expected to remain at background
levels over the next 24 hours. However, there is a small chance of
exceeding the threshold if high-energy flares or eruptions occur.

Electron fluxes at GEO: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux, as measured
by the GOES-16 satellite, remained below the threshold over the past 24
hours and is expected to remain so in the coming 24 hours. The 24-hour
electron fluence is currently at normal levels and is expected to stay that
way over the next 24 hours.
