Solar activity
The rapid decline in flare activity continues. Yesterday, 11 solar flares occurred, compared to 21 the previous day and 28 on Monday. Overall, this is an expected development. The explosive surge in the number of flares that began over the weekend was linked to a single sunspot group, numbered 4566. Now that this region has begun to decay, the Sun's overall activity is subsiding along with it. While the flare rate and background X-ray radiation levels remain technically high, it is clear that this surge is in its final days. Unless new active regions emerge on the Sun by the end of the week, activity will return to the minimal levels that have characterized most of the past month.
Geomagnetic Activity
Earth’s magnetic field has remained in the "green zone" since November 9 — for the third consecutive day. At this point, the magnetosphere can be considered fully stabilized following several days of influence from a large coronal hole. That coronal hole has now almost entirely rotated out of view from Earth. Although solar wind speeds remain slightly elevated, indicating a minor lingering effect, it is of no practical significance. The forecast for geomagnetic storms points to a long, quiet period ahead, lasting at least a week.
Summary
Earth has now experienced three consecutive days without geomagnetic disturbances. All factors that recently affected the planet—solar flares and solar wind—are rapidly losing their impact. The current forecast indicates complete stabilization of Earth’s magnetic field for a week or more. Flare activity is also expected to subside completely within the next 2–3 days.
