EXTERNAL FIELDS/EFFECTS
The geomagnetic field saw active conditions today. The AP level was 15. High latitude geomagnetic field saw active conditions with AP 23. This storm continues the strongest at high latitudes since AP at high latitudes reached 45 on November 22, 2020. Strong excursions in the geomagnetic field can be accompanied by enhanced seismicity at high latitudes and near the geomagnetic equator in the next several days.
The geomagnetic field is expected to see minor storm periods February 23-24 and unsettled February 25. Solar activity is expected to be at quiet conditions February 23-25, 2021 with a slight chance (5%) of an M-class flare. SWPC expects a proton storm with 1% likelihood.
The maximum disturbance in the geomagnetic field today occurred with KP 5 at 18:00, February 22, 2021.
The Wolf Sunspot number today was 11. F 10.7 was 75 on February 22, 2021.
