Solar activity

24 h Summary

Solar activity was very low. Region 2765 (S24E44, Cao/beta) continued to exhibit a growth trend this period, however, the region produced only low-level flare activity. No other active regions with sunspots were observed on the visible disk and no Earth-directed CMEs were detected in available satellite imagery.

Forecast

Solar activity is expected to continue at very low levels on 06-08 Jun.

Energetic Particles

24 h Summary

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was normal to moderate and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux was steady at background levels.

Forecast

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux are expected to remain below event thresholds on 06-08 Jun.

Solar Wind

24 h Summary

Solar wind parameters were at nominal levels this period. Solar wind speed values remained below 350 km/s, IMF total field strength was between 1-5 nT, and Bz did not exceed -5 nT.

Forecast

Solar wind parameters are expected to be weakly enhnaced on 06-07 Jun due to the influence of a positive polarity CH HSS. Background solar wind conditions are expected to prevail on 08 Jun with the return of a nominal solar wind regime.

Geospace

24 h Summary

The geomagnetic field was quiet this period.

Forecast

The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled on 06-07 Jun due to weak positive polarity CH HSS influence. Generally quiet conditions are expected to prevail on 08 Jun with the return of a nominal solar wind regime.
