Here is this week's space weather and geophysical report, issued 2021 Apr 05 0228 UTC.
Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 29 March - 04 April 2021
Solar activity was very low throughout the highlight period, with only B-class flare activity. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available imagery.
No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels on 02 April due to CH HSS influence. Normal to moderate levels were observed during the rest of the highlight period.
Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet to unsettled levels during the highlight period, with only weak CH HSS influence.
Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 05 April - 01 May 2021
Solar activity is expected to be very low during the outlook period.
No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to reach high levels on 08-11, and 17-22 April due to recurrent CH HSS effects. Normal to moderate levels are expected to prevail throughout the remainder of the outlook period.
Geomagnetic field activity is likely to reach G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storm levels on 16 April, with active conditions on 17 April due to recurrent, negative-polarity CH HSS influence. Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected throughout the remainder of the outlook period.
