Forecast Valid For 24 Hours
Solar activity over the past 24 hours was eruptive.
One C-class flare was observed, with no M-class or X-class flares. The maximum flare observed was a C1.4 from NOAA 14545, peaking at 21:37 UT. No solar radio bursts of Type II, Type III, or Type IV were reported. One coronal mass ejection was detected, originating from the western limb with a speed of 200 kilometers per second and an angular width of 38 degrees. On the visible disk, SDO/HMI instruments observed three active regions: NOAA 14535, NOAA 14544, and NOAA 14545. Additionally, two H-alpha plages were identified by BBSO, corresponding to NOAA 14533 and NOAA 14542. No farside active regions were observed returning to the visible disk.
Based on todya's condition,
Solar activity for October 2nd, 2026 04:00 UT - October 3rd, 2026 03:59 UT is predicted to be eruptive.
Solar activity for October 3rd, 2026 04:00 UT - October 4th, 2026 03:59 UT is predicted to be eruptive.
Solar activity for October 4th, 2026 04:00 UT - October 5th, 2026 03:59 UT is predicted to be eruptive.
The geomagnetic activity was on quiet level for the last 24 hours.
The solar wind speed decrease from 310 km/s to 269 km/s. The north-south component of interplanetary magnetic field fluctuate between -2.0 nT and 4.7 nT. Corona holes at eastern equator and southern hemisphere were not geoeffective, meanwhile at equator and north-western were geoeffective. CME on 01 October 2026 17:00 UT was mainly errupted toward north-west with speed of 151 km/s and angular width of 38°. The CME was geoeffective and is likely to have not impact until next 3 days.
Active level geomagnetic activity is expected for the next 24 hours.
Quiet level geomagnetic activity is expected for 3 October 2026 04UT - 4 October 2026 04UT.
Quiet level geomagnetic activity is expected for 4 October 2026 04UT - 5 October 2026 04UT.
Ionosphere was in Quiet level for the last 24 hours.
There was no depression of foF2 lower than 30% of its median values.There was increment of fmin more than 30% of its median values for 15 minutes. The Spread-F occured for 600 minutes. The Sporadic E layer occured in the night and daytime for 675 minutes with foEs value exceeded the foF2 for 120 minutes. The S4 index values (condition of ionospheric scintillation) was on Moderate (S4 < 0.8) level last 24 hours over Agam. The TEC values was on Quiet (VTEC < 125) level last 24 hours over Agam.
