Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity  
31 January - 06 February 2022  
   
Solar activity was at low levels with many C-class flares observed.  
The largest flare of the period was a C9 at 01/2236 UTC from Region  
2939 (S16, L=32, class/area Dho/300 on 02 Feb). Region 2939 also  
produced a long-duration C3/Sf flare at 06/1341 UTC. Filament  
structure suspended above the region, approximately 10 degrees long  
and centered near S20W05 at the time of the event, lifted-off during  
the flare. The event was subsequently detected in LASCO C2 beginning  
at around 06/1436 UTC, and is predicted to hit Earth. Initial  
analysis determined 10 Feb to be the likely timing to arrive at  
Earth. Regions 2936 (N17, L=116, class/area Ehi/750 on 31 Jan) 2940  
(N17, L=35, class/area Dao/320 no 02 Feb), and 2941 (N24, L=340,  
class/area Eho/300 on 05 Feb) also contributed several C-class  
flares each.   
   
   
   
   
   
   
Solar activity is expected to be at low levels, with a slight chance  
for M-class flares on 07-11 Feb due to the flare potential of  
Regions 2940 and 2941. Very low to low levels are expected on 12 Feb  
- 05 Mar.

The average sunspot region size MVH 1981-2021
News January 2022          
   
Solar activity is still low but number of regions are slowly increasing. The CV as 13-rot. centered averages
are now higher than for solar cycle 24 at the same time of progress from minimum!   
The solar flux is now ahead with about 16 percent (!) and CV-I 13-rot. ahead compared to cycle 24!  
Sunspot region production at Month 26 is still good. A total of 192 regions produced this cycle per Feb 22.
There were a total of 21 sunspot regions in January 2022. The highest number of regions since Sep 2015!

Solar Flux onset expected late this year.  The P-Index, rise/fall data from solar flux,  
This proved great activity in January 2022 and which may persist until at least March 2022.  
Stay tuned and observe the solar disk from now on!
