Solar flaring activity was high over the past 24 hours, with an X4.1 flare (SIDC flare 6063) observed on 14 Nov at 08:30 UTC. SIDC Sunspot Group (SG) 687 (NOAA Active Region [AR] 4274, Beta-Gamma-Delta magnetic configuration) produced the said flare together with the majority of the flaring activity. SIDC SG 689 (NOAA AR 4276, Beta magnetic configuration) produced the rest of the C-class flaring activity. In the next 24 hours isolated M-class flares are likely to occur from SIDC SG 687 and there is a small chance of another X-class flare from the same SG/AR.
SIDC flare 6063 (an X4.1 flare emitted on 14 Nov at 08:30 UTC) has caused a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) that can potentially impact Earth. However, there are not yet enough observations available for a meaningful forecast. More information will be provided in the next Ursigram.
SIDC Coronal Hole 126 (mid-latitude coronal hole with a negative polarity) first reached the central meridian on November 13. It is expected to produce a High Speed Stream (HSS) that will become geo-effective on 17 Nov.
During the past 24 hours the greater than 10 MeV proton flux, as measured by the GOES-19 satellite, dropped bellow the 10 pfu threshold level on 13 Nov at 15:00 UTC. However, SIDC flare 6063 (an X4.1 flare) cause another proton even and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux exceeded again the 10 pfu alert threshold on 14 Nov 09:20 UTC. The new proton event is relatively weak hence the greater than 10 MeV proton flux is not expected to increase much further in the next 24 hours, rather stay close to the 10 pfu level.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux as measured by GOES 19 was below but close to the 1000 pfu alert threshold during the past 24 hours. It is expected to increase in the next 24 hours and possibly cross the alert threshold.
The 24-hour electron fluence was at moderate levels during the past 24 hours. It is expected to remain at moderate levels in the next 24 hours.
