A. NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast
The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 2 (below NOAA
Scale levels).
The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Sep 22-Sep 24 2026 is 5.33 (NOAA Scale
G1).
NOAA Kp index breakdown Sep 22-Sep 24 2026
Sep 22 Sep 23 Sep 24
00-03UT 2.00 1.67 4.33
03-06UT 0.67 2.00 5.33 (G1)
06-09UT 0.33 2.00 4.67 (G1)
09-12UT 0.33 2.00 3.33
12-15UT 2.00 2.33 2.33

18-21UT 1.67 3.33 3.33
21-00UT 1.67 4.33 3.00
Rationale: G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storm conditions are likely 24 Sep
under +CH HSS influences
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 Sep 22-Sep 24 2026
Sep 22 Sep 23 Sep 24
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 Sep 22-Sep 24 2026
Sep 22 Sep 23 Sep 24
R1-R2 15% 15% 15%
R3 or greater 1% 1% 1%
Rationale: There is a slight chance for R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) radio
blackouts through 24 Sep primarily due to the flare potential of Regions
4534 and 4536.
