Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 06 - 12 August 2018
Solar activity was very low throughout the period. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available satellite imagery.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was normal background levels throughout the period.

Geomagnetic field activity was ranged from quiet to active. Quiet levels were observed on 06 Aug, 08-10 Aug and 12 Aug; unsettled levels were reached on 07 Aug and active levels were reached on 11 Aug. Mostly nominal solar wind conditions were observed through the period. A SSBC followed by very weak influence from a negative polarity CH HSS occurred on 11 Aug. Total magnetic field strength briefly reached 11 nT around 11/0400 UTC but no significant periods of southward Bz were observed.

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 13 August - 08 September 2018

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 range from normal to moderate levels over the outlook period.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to range from quiet to active levels over the outlook period. Unsettled levels are expected on 13 Aug, 18 Aug, 04 Sep and 07-08 Sep; active levels are expected on 16-17 Aug, 20-21 Aug and 03 Sep. All increases in geomagnetic activity are anticipated in response to multiple, recurrent CH HSSs.The remainder of the outlook period is expected to be at quiet levels.
