Here is this week's space weather and geophysical report, issued 2021 Apr 12 0114 UTC.
Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 05 - 11 April 2021
Solar activity was very low throughout the period with only B-class flare activity observed. 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 was at normal to moderate levels during the period.
Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet levels on 05-06 April and 08-11 April. Unsettled to G1 (Minor) storm conditions were observed on 07 April due to positive polarity CH HSS effects.
Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 12 April - 08 May 2021
Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels 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 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 17 Apr due to recurrent, negative polarity CH HSS influence. Mostly quiet to unsettled levels are expected throughout the remainder of the outlook period.
