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.

(Minor-Severe) levels on 12 Nov, G1-G3 (Minor-Strong) storm levels on 13
Nov and G1 (Minor) levels early on 14 Nov.
B. NOAA Solar Radiation Activity Observation and Forecast
Solar radiation, as observed by NOAA GOES-18 over the past 24 hours, was
above S-scale storm level thresholds.
Solar Radiation Storm Forecast for Nov 12-Nov 14 2025
Nov 12 Nov 13 Nov 14
S1 or greater 99% 75% 55%
Rationale: The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to continue
above the S1 (Minor) threshold through 13 Nov, with S2 levels possible
through 12 Nov. Further enhancements are possible with the arrival of
the 09-11 Nov CMEs on 11 and 12 Nov.
C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast
Radio blackouts reaching the R3 levels were observed over the past 24
hours. The largest was at Nov 11 2025 1004 UTC.
Radio Blackout Forecast for Nov 12-Nov 14 2025
Nov 12 Nov 13 Nov 14
R1-R2 85% 85% 85%
R3 or greater 55% 55% 55%
Rationale: R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts are expected, with
further R3 (Strong) activity likely on 12-14 Nov due to the flare
potential of Region 4274.
Extended Space Weather Discussion:
Solar Activity
.24 hr Summary...
Solar activity reached high levels (R3-Strong) again this period, due to
another X-class flare from Region 4274 (N24W37, Ekc/beta-gamma-delta).
The impulsive X5.1/3B flare peaked at 11/1004 UTC. This event had an
associated Type-II (1350 km/s) radio sweep, an F10.7 cm radio burst
(10,000 sfu), and a Castelli-U radio signature. An associated asymmetric
halo CME was observed beginning at 11/1024 UTC with the bulk of the
ejecta having a NW bias. Modelling of the CME indicated an arrival time
mid to late on 12 Nov.
Region 4274 exhibited slight growth and movement along the inversion
lines in the southern and eastern edges of the intermediate and trailing
spots. Magnetic shearing along these inversion lines could lead to
further X-class activity.
Slight growth was observed in Regions 4277 (S07W02, Dsi/beta) and 4280
(S09E49, Bxi/beta). New spots emerged in the SW quadrant and was
numbered as 4281 (S13W49, Bxo/beta). The rest of the spot groups were
either stable or in decay.
.Forecast...
Solar activity is expected to be moderate (R1-R2, Minor-Moderate) with
further X-class (R3-Strong) activity likely on 12-14 Nov due to the
flare potential of Region 4274.
Energetic Particle
.24 hr Summary...
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux showed an increase above high
levels at 11/1025 UTC coinciding with a higher energy proton flux
increase indicating contamination.
The greater than 10 MeV proton flux began to increase after 10/1020 UTC
following the X1.2 flare at 10/0919 UTC. S1 (Minor) levels were reached
at 10/1125 UTC. Following the X5.1/3B flare at 11/1004 UTC, flux levels
began to increase further, increasing above the S2 (Moderate) level at
11/1225 UTC. A current peak flux of 157 pfu was observed at 11/1505 UTC.
Additionally, the 100 MeV proton flux levels exceeded the 1 pfu
threshold at 11/1020 UTC, reaching a peak of 29.1 pfu at 11/1635 UTC.
.Forecast...
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to be at normal to
moderate levels on 12-14 Nov with the arrivals of the 09-11 CMEs.
The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to continue above S1-S2
(Minor-Moderate) levels on 12-13 Nov due to shock enhancements by the
arrival of the 09-11 CMEs on 12 Nov. S1 (Minor) level are likely on 14
Nov.
Solar Wind
.24 hr Summary...
Solar wind speed decreased from 488 km/s to near 400 km/s. Total field
ranged from 4-7 nT while the Bz component was between +/-3 nT. Phi angle
was negative. At 11/2212 UTC, an IP shock passage was observed at the
ACE spacecraft, likely the arrival of the 09 Nov CME. Solar wind speed
increased to 536 km/s along with an increase in total field to 13 nT. At
11/2337 UTC, total field Bt increased to about 60 nT while the Bz
component dipped south to about -55 nT. Wind speed displayed a rapid
increase from about 464 km/s to 741 km/s. Density and temperature values
indicated a rapid increase as well.
.Forecast...
Solar wind parameters are expected to be enhanced on 12 Nov due to
persistent activity from the 09 Nov CME followed by the arrival of the
10 Nov CME. Further enhancement is expected mid to late on 12 Nov with
the arrival of a much faster CME from 11 Nov. Modelling of the 11 Nov
CME indicated that solar wind speeds could reach or exceed 1,000 km/s.
Activity will likely continue through midday on 13 Nov and slowly
diminish thereafter.
Geospace
.24 hr Summary...
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to G1 (Minor) levels. A deviation of
17 nT was observed at the Boulder magnetometer site at 11/2300 UTC in
response to the aforementioned IP shock passage.
.Forecast...
G1-G4 (Minor-Strong) levels are likely early on 12 Nov with the arrival
of the 09 and 10 Nov CMEs. By mid to late on 12 Nov, activity will
likely increase to G3-G4 (Strong-Severe) storming with the arrival of
the 11 Nov CME. G1-G3 (Minor-Strong) storm levels are likely to continue
into 13 Nov as CME activity persists. Unsettled to G1 (Minor) levels are
likely on 14 Nov as activity wanes.
