A. NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast

The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 4 (below NOAA
Scale levels).
The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Nov 26-Nov 28 2025 is 4.67 (NOAA Scale
G1).

NOAA Kp index breakdown Nov 26-Nov 28 2025

             Nov 26       Nov 27       Nov 28
00-03UT       3.33         4.67 (G1)    4.00     
03-06UT       4.00         4.33         4.00     
06-09UT       4.00         4.67 (G1)    3.67     
09-12UT       3.67         4.00         3.67     
12-15UT       3.67         3.67         3.67     
15-18UT       3.67         3.67         4.00     
18-21UT       4.00         4.00         4.00     
21-00UT       4.67 (G1)    4.33         3.67     

Rationale: G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storming will remain likely through 27
Nov due to persistant CH HSS effects.

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 Nov 26-Nov 28 2025

              Nov 26  Nov 27  Nov 28
S1 or greater    1%      1%      1%

Rationale: No S1 (Minor) or greater solar radiation storms are expected.
No significant active region activity favorable for radiation storm
production is forecast.

C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast

No radio blackouts were observed over the past 24 hours.

Radio Blackout Forecast for Nov 26-Nov 28 2025

              Nov 26        Nov 27        Nov 28
R1-R2           15%           15%           15%
R3 or greater    1%            1%            1%

Rationale: A slight chance for R1-2 (Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts due
to M-class flare activity will persist through 28 Nov.
