Rationale: No G1 (Minor) or greater geomagnetic storms are expected. No
significant transient or recurrent solar wind features are forecast.
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 01-Dec 03 2025
Dec 01 Dec 02 Dec 03
S1 or greater 20% 20% 20%
Rationale: There is a slight chance for the greater than 10 MeV proton
flux to reach S1 (Minor) levels through 03 Dec, due primarily to the
eruptive potential of Region2 4294 and 4299.
C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast
Radio blackouts reaching the R3 levels were observed over the past 24
hours. The largest was at Dec 01 2025 0249 UTC.
Radio Blackout Forecast for Dec 01-Dec 03 2025
Dec 01 Dec 02 Dec 03
R1-R2 70% 70% 70%
R3 or greater 20% 20% 20%
Rationale: R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts are likely, with a
slight chance for an R3 (Strong) or greater event, on 01-03 Dec.
Extended Space Weather Discussion:
Solar Activity
.24 hr Summary...
Solar activity reached high levels due to an X1.9 (R3-Strong) flare
observed from new Region 4299 (N22E75, Hsx/alpha). Associated with this
event was a Castelli U radio burst, a 988 km/s Type II sweep and a Type
IV sweep. The event produced a rapid, partial-halo CME observed off the
NE limb, however, initial analysis and model output determined no
Earth-directed component.
The large sunspot group, 4294 (S15E52, Fkc/beta-gamma-delta), was split
into three groups based on magnetic complexity. New Region 4298 (S16E39,
Hsx/alpha) was numbered ahead of the large group Region 4294. New Region
4296 (S14E69, Hsx/alpha) was numbered just to the east of Region 4294.
New Region 4297 (S12W08, Bxo/beta) was also numbered. A other sunspot
groups were quiet and unchanged.
No additional Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph
imagery.
.Forecast...
M-class flares (R1-R2/Minor-Moderate) are likely, with a slight chance
for an X-class flare (R3-Strong), over 01-03 Dec.
Energetic Particle
.24 hr Summary...
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at high levels, with a peak
flux of 12,900 pfu. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at
background levels.
.Forecast...
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to reach high levels on
01-03 Dec. There is a slight chance for the greater than 10 MeV proton
flux to reach S1 (Minor) levels through 03 Dec due primarily from the
X1.9 flare observed early on 01 Dec and from the eruptive potential from
Region 4294.
Solar Wind
.24 hr Summary...
Solar wind parameters reflected waning influence of a positive polarity
CH HSS. Total magnetic field strength was between 5-6 nT. Bz was
primarily oriented southward. Solar wind speeds declined from ~625 km/s
to near 475 km/s by the end of the reporting period. Phi angle was
predominantly positive.
.Forecast...
Positive polarity CH HSS influences are expected to wane over 01 Dec,
followed by a return to at or near ambient levels over 02 Dec. Another
enhancement in solar wind parameters from a negative polarity coronal
hole is expected on 03 Dec.
Geospace
.24 hr Summary...
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to active levels under waning
positive polarity CH HSS influences.
.Forecast...
The geomagnetic field is expected to reach unsettled levels, with a
chance for active levels, on 01 Dec as positive polarity CH HSS
influences wane. Mostly quiet conditions are expected to prevail on 02
Dec with the return of an ambient solar wind environment. Active
conditions, with a chance for G1 (Minor), are likely with the
anticipated onset of influence from a large, negative polarity coronal
hole on 03 Dec.
