Solar activity report
Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity 2024 Aug 07 2200 UTCPrepared by the NOAA © SWPC and processed by SpaceWeatherLive.com
Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 220 Issued at 2200Z on 07 Aug 2024IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z Solar activity has been at moderate levels for the past 24
hours. The largest solar event of the period was a M4 event observed at
07/1350Z. There are currently 9 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be moderate
with a chance for X-class flares on days one, two, and three (08 Aug, 09
Aug, 10 Aug).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z
The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed
reached a peak of 591 km/s at 06/2149Z. Total IMF reached 5 nT at
07/1513Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -5 nT at
07/0823Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached
a peak level of 114 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet levels on day one (08 Aug), quiet to major storm levels
on day two (09 Aug) and unsettled to major storm levels on day three (10
Aug). Protons have a slight chance of crossing threshold on days one,
two, and three (08 Aug, 09 Aug, 10 Aug).
