SIDC SOLAR BULLETIN 25 Oct 2004, 1243UT
SIDC FORECAST (valid from 1230UT, 25 Oct 2004 until 27 Oct 2004)
SOLAR FLARES  : Active (M-class flares expected, probability >= 50%)
GEOMAGNETISM  : Active conditions expected (A>=20 or K=4)
SOLAR PROTONS : Quiet
PREDICTIONS FOR 25 Oct 2004  10CM FLUX: 145 / AP: 019
PREDICTIONS FOR 26 Oct 2004  10CM FLUX: 153 / AP: 022
PREDICTIONS FOR 27 Oct 2004  10CM FLUX: 158 / AP: 027
COMMENT: The solar activity is expected to remain moderate to high, with C
flares and a probable M flare, mainly from active region 49 (NOAA687) but also
from region 52 (NOAA691), now still near the East limb. Active region 49 (687)
has recently produced successive moderate flares (22/10 07:54, 23/10 16:22,
24/10 20:17 UT) that were all associated with a radio surge and EIT dimming,
suggesting associated Earth-directed CMEs, although only the 22/10 event was
identified as such in LASCO images. Therefore, we expect the current unsettled
to active geomagnetic conditions to extend up to Oct. 27, under the influence of
a low-latitude coronal hole, that started yesterday. Still, on top of that, the
arrival of the successive CMEs may induce minors storms from today until Oct. 28.
