Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 24 - 30 December 2018
Solar activity was very low throughout the period. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed this period.
No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels on 29-30 December, with moderate levels on 24-25, and 28 December. Normal levels were observed on 26-27 December.
Geomagnetic field activity reached G1 (Minor) storm levels on 28 December and quiet to unsettled levels on 27, 29-30 December in response to recurrent CH HSS infleunce. Quiet conditions prevailed
on 24-26 December.

Solar activity is expected to be very low throughout 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 31 December, 01-03, 06-12, and 25-26 January with moderate flux levels expected on 04-05, 13-21,
and 24 January. Normal levels are expected throughout the remainder of the period.
