Joint USAF/NOAA Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast
SDF Number 154 Issued at 2200Z on 03 Jun 2013
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 02/2100Z to
03/2100Z: Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours.
The largest solar event of the period was a C9 event observed at
03/0725Z from Region 1762 (S29W35). There are currently 6 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is likely to be low with a
slight chance for an M-class flare on days one, two, and three (04 Jun,
05 Jun, 06 Jun).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 02/2100Z to 03/2100Z: The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar
wind speed, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, reached a peak speed of
779 km/s at 03/0647Z. Total IMF reached 5 nT at 03/0227Z. The maximum
southward component of Bz reached -3 nT at 03/2011Z. Electrons greater
than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 8298 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet levels on days one and two (04 Jun, 05 Jun) and quiet to
unsettled levels on day three (06 Jun).

**** SPACE WEATHER OUTLOOK ****
Summary For May 27-June 2
Category G1 (Minor) and G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storms were observed
on 01 June and only G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storms were observed on
02 June in response to a coronal hole high speed stream.
Category R1 (Minor) radio blackout were observed on 31 May due to flare
activity from active sunspot Region 1760.
Outlook For June 3-9
No space weather storms are expected.
