Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
05 - 11 July 2021
Solar activity was at very low to low levels. Region 2840 (N27,
L=034, class/area Bxo/010 on 08 Jul) produced the strongest event of
the period, a C7 flare at 09/1050 UTC. A Type II radio sweep, and
several other C-class X-ray events, were produced by the region
while it was just past the W limb. Region 2835 (S18, L=052,
class/area Ekc/770 on 01 Jul) was the largest region of the period,
but only produced some low-level C-class activity as it rotated
around the SW limb after 06 Jul. The remaining numbered regions on
the visible disk were relatively simple and quiet. Of the multiple
coronal mass ejections observed during the period, none were
determined to have an Earth-directed component.
No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at
normal to moderate levels.
Geomagnetic field activity was quiet to unsettled. Some extended
periods of southward Bz were followed by a few isolated unsettled
periods on 05-06 Jul. Another period of unsettled was observed on 10
Jul which may have been caused by weak influence from a positive
polarity coronal hole that rapidly decayed as it crossed the central
meridian of the Sun. The remainder of the reporting period was
quiet.
Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
12 July - 07 August 2021
Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels throughout the
outlook period. There is a chance for elevated activity from old
Region 2838 (N24, L=088), Region 2835 (S18, L=068) and Region 2840
(N27, L=045) as they are expected to rotate back onto the visible
disk on 16 Jul, 20 Jul, and 21 Jul, respectively.
No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to be at normal to moderate levels on 12 Jul and from 19
Jul - 07 Aug. High levels, caused by interaction with a negative
polarity CH HSS, is likely for 13-18 Jul.
Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at quiet to active
levels. A negative polarity CH HSS. that is connected to the
southern crown coronal hole. is expected to elevate geomagnetic
activity to active levels on 12-14 Jul and unsettled levels on 15-16
Jul. A small, positive polarity CH HSS is likely to cause unsettled
conditions on 02 Aug. The remainder of the outlook period is
expected to be at quiet levels.
