SUMMARY: 10cm Radio Burst
Begin Time: 2025 Dec 10 2206 UTC
Maximum Time: 2025 Dec 10 2206 UTC
End Time: 2025 Dec 10 2208 UTC
Duration: 2 minutes
Peak Flux: 520 sfu
Latest Penticton Noon Flux: 168 sfu
Comment: This summary contains the corrected peak flux of 520 sfu
Description: A 10cm radio burst indicates that the electromagnetic burst associated with a solar flare at the 10cm wavelength was double or greater than the initial 10cm radio background. This can be indicative of significant radio noise in association with a solar flare. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications.

The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 6 (NOAA Scale
G2). The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Dec 11-Dec 13 2025 is 5.67 (NOAA
Scale G2).

Rationale: G1-G2 (Minor-Moderate) geomagnetic storms are expected due to
the influence of ongoing solar wind transients near Earth, likely
associated with a CME partial hit.
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 Dec 11-Dec 13 2025
Dec 11 Dec 12 Dec 13
S1 or greater 15% 10% 5%
Rationale: There is a slight chance for S1 (Minor) or greater solar
radiation storms on 11-12 Dec.
C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast
Radio blackouts reaching the R1 levels were observed over the past 24
hours. The largest was at Dec 10 2025 2208 UTC.

Rationale: R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts are expected on 11 Dec
and likely on 12-13 Dec. There is a slight chance of R3 (Strong) or
greater storms on 11-12 Dec.
Extended Space Weather Discussion:
Solar Activity
.24 hr Summary...
Solar activity reached moderate level due to multiple low level
(R1-Minor) M-class flares, which all originated from Region 4294
(S15W69, Ekc/beta-gamma-delta). Persistent flux emergence in its leading
spot has supported its flare activity over the last two days. Other
regions with notable growth were Regions 4304 (N25W36, Cai/beta-gamma)
and 4305 (S25E20, Dai/beta-gamma). All other regions were either stable
or in decay. Region 4294 was responsible for the largest flare of the
period, an M4.4/2B at 10/2208, that was also associated with a 520 sfu
Tenflare, a Type-II radio burst (estimated velocity of 849 km/s) and an
eruption observed at the SUVI 284A channel. Further coronagraph data is
necessary to analyze this eruption.
There were no Earth directed CMEs in the available coronagraph imagery.
.Forecast...
R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) flare activity is expected (75%
chance), with a slight chance (15%) for R3 (Strong) activity.
Probabilities remain elevated due to the complexity and history of the
large complex of three regions in the southwest part of the disk.
Energetic Particle
.24 hr Summary...
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached
high levels, with a maximum of 2183 pfu at 10/1735 UTC. The greater than
10 MeV proton flux remained at background.
.Forecast...
Without the geoeffective positioning of any coronal hole high speed
stream until 13 Dec, electrons will continue to trend towards moderate
levels through 12 Dec.
Due the growth of Region 4294 and its favorable positioning in the west,
there remains a slight chance (15%) for an S1 (Minor) radiation storming
event on 12 Dec with decreasing chances as it moves beyond the limb.
Solar Wind
.24 hr Summary...
Solar wind parameters have been enhanced throughout much of the period.
A weak transient moved through starting around 10/0325 UTC. Total
interplanetary magnetic field (Bt) rose to 13 nT with the north-south
(Bz) component dropping to a minimum of -7 nT. Wind speeds increased
slightly from 350 km/s towards 425 km/s for a brief period. The
heliospheric current sheet, as determined by the phi angle, moved from
negative (towards the Sun) to positive. Bt remained around 7 nT, wind
speeds around 380 km/s until approximately 10/1800 UTC.
Between 1800-2100 UTC conditions deteriorate. Bt originally at 11 nT at
10/1824 UTC began dropping and reached a minimum of 2 nT at 10/1957 UTC.
Rotation began to occur within the heliospheric sheet with a rise in
density. A solar wind signature indicative of a reverse shock.
Bt increased up to 17 nT at 10/2013 UTC with the Bz component dropping
to -16 nT - both have been holding steady at this magnitude since.
.Forecast...
Solar wind parameters will remain enhanced going into 11 Dec with
nominal conditions being regained once current conditions pass. The
co-rotating interacting region (CIR) ahead of the negative polarity
coronal hole (CH) high speed stream (HSS) expected to arrive 12 Dec.
Geospace
.24 hr Summary...
The geomagnetic field reached G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storming levels
due to the solar wind disturbance that arrived around 10/2000 UTC.
.Forecast...
G1-G2 (Minor to Moderate) geomagnetic storming levels are expected to
continue into 11 Dec with a return to unsettled to active conditions
thereafter.
