SUMMARY: 10cm Radio Burst
Begin Time: 2025 Dec 10 2206 UTC
Maximum Time: 2025 Dec 10 2206 UTC
End Time: 2025 Dec 10 2208 UTC
Duration: 2 minutes
Peak Flux: 520 sfu
Latest Penticton Noon Flux: 168 sfu
Comment: This summary contains the corrected peak flux of 520 sfu
Description: A 10cm radio burst indicates that the electromagnetic burst associated with a solar flare at the 10cm wavelength was double or greater than the initial 10cm radio background. This can be indicative of significant radio noise in association with a solar flare. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications.

Rationale: G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storming is expected in the first half
of 11 Dec due to ongoing solar wind transients near Earth, likely
associated with a CME partial hit.
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 Radiation Storm Forecast for Dec 11-Dec 13 2025
Dec 11 Dec 12 Dec 13
S1 or greater 15% 10% 5%
Rationale: There is a slight chance for S1 (Minor) or greater solar
radiation storms on 11-12 Dec due to complex regions rotating over the
western limb.
C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast
Radio blackouts reaching the R1 levels were observed over the past 24
hours. The largest was at Dec 10 2025 2208 UTC.

Dec 11 Dec 12 Dec 13
R1-R2 75% 65% 65%
R3 or greater 15% 10% 5%
Rationale: R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts are expected on 11 Dec
and likely on 12-13 Dec. There is a slight chance of R3 (Strong) or
greater storms on 11-12 Dec.
Extended Space Weather Discussion:
Solar Activity
.24 hr Summary...
Solar activity reached moderate level due to multiple low level
(R1-Minor) M-class flares, which all originated from Region 4294
(S15W81, Ekc/beta-gamma). Persistent flux emergence in its leading
spot has supported its flare activity over the last two days. Regions
4304 (N26W49, Cai/beta-gamma) and 4305 (S25E06, Dao/beta) continued to
show slight growth. All other regions were either stable
or in decay. Two new regions rapidly developed and were numbered this
period: 4306 (S16W28, Bxi/beta) and 4307 (S11E08, Bxo/beta).
Region 4294 was responsible for the largest flare of the
period, an M4.4/2B at 10/2208, that was also associated with a 520 sfu
Tenflare, a Type-II radio burst (estimated velocity of 849 km/s) and an
eruption observed at the SUVI 284A channel. An associated CME became
visible in coronagraph imagery at 10/2224 UTC. Analysis suggests the
bulk of the ejecta to pass ahead of Earths orbit.
.Forecast...
R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) flare activity is expected (75%
chance), with a slight chance (15%) for R3 (Strong) activity on 11 Dec.
Probabilities remain elevated due to the complexity and history of the
large complex of two regions in the south, decreasing as they pass
beyond the western limb over 12-13 Dec.
Energetic Particle
.24 hr Summary...
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached
high levels, with a maximum of 2183 pfu at 10/1735 UTC. The greater than
10 MeV proton flux remained at background.
.Forecast...
Without the geoeffective positioning of any coronal hole high speed
stream until 13 Dec, electrons will likely trend towards moderate
levels through 12 Dec.
Due the growth of Region 4294 and its favorable positioning in the west,
there remains a slight chance (10%) for an S1 (Minor) radiation storming
event on 12 Dec with decreasing chances as it moves beyond the limb.
Solar Wind
.24 hr Summary...
Solar wind parameters have been enhanced throughout much of the period,
due to a significant magnetic transient arrival between 10/1800-2100 UTC
causing the total interplanetary magnetic field (Bt) to steadily
increase for several hours, reaching a maximum of 22 nT at 11/0713 UTC.
The magnetic field components at L1 were indicative of slow, relatively
smooth rotation, with the north-south component (Bz) remaining southward
(negative) for several hours, reaching a maximum of -17 nT at 11/0059
UTC. Wind speeds showed a slight response to the transients arrival,
increasing to ~450 km/s at 10/2035 UTC and slowly decreasing to 400 by
the end of the reporting period. The phi angle was predominantly
positive, indicating the heliospheric current sheet was largely oriented
away from the Sun. Signatures in phi and density around the transients
arrival could be indicative of a reverse shock.
.Forecast...
Solar wind parameters will likely remain enhanced throughout the rest of
11 Dec and likely into 12 Dec, as the decay in Bt has been quite slow.
The co-rotating interacting region (CIR) ahead of the negative polarity
coronal hole (CH) high speed stream (HSS) is also anticipated to arrive
during this time period.
Geospace
.24 hr Summary...
The geomagnetic field reached G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storming levels
due to the solar wind disturbance that arrived around 10/2000 UTC.
.Forecast...
A return to unsettled to active conditions is likely throughout the
remainder of 11 Dec and into 12-13 Dec, with a small potential for
isolated minor storming (G1) as the CIR arrives.
