Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 20 - 26 June 2011

Solar activity was very low to low. Region 1236 (N17, L=167, class/area Ehi/350 on 15 June) produced a long-duration C7/Sf at 21/0325 UTC associated with an Earth-directed full-halo coronal mass ejection (CME). Activity was at very low levels during 22 - 26 June with occasional B-class flares from Region 1236 as it gradually decayed.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at normal to moderate levels during 20 - 22 June. Fluxes increased to normal to high levels during 23 - 24 June. A further increase to moderate to high levels occurred on 25 - 26 June.

Geomagnetic activity was at quiet to unsettled levels during 20 - 21 June. Activity increased to quiet to active levels during 22 - 23 June, with minor to major storm periods at high latitudes, due to a coronal hole high-speed stream (CH HSS). A CME passage (from the halo-CME observed on 21 June) also occurred early on 23 June with a sudden geomagnetic impulse observed at Boulder at 23/0258 UTC (22 nT). Activity decreased to quiet to unsettled levels during 24 - 26 June as CH HSS effects subsided.

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 29 June - 25 July 2011

Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels until 03 July with the return of old Region 1234 (S16, L=246). Activity is then expected to be low followed by a further increase to low with a
chance for isolated M-class activity as old Region 1236 rotates back on the visible disk.

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to be at moderate to high levels during 29 June - 01 July. A decrease to normal to moderate levels is expected during 02 - 05
July followed by an increase to moderate to high levels during 06 - 07 July due to a CH HSS. Fluxes are expected to decrease to normal to moderate levels during 08 - 19 July. Fluxes are expected to
increase to moderate to high levels during 20 - 23 July following the CH HSS.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels during 29 - 30 June. A CH HSS is expected to boost activity to quiet to active levels during 01 - 03 July. Mostly quiet levels
are forecast for 03 - 07 July as the CH HSS subsides. An increase to quiet to unsettled levels is expected during 08 - 09 July as another CH HSS disturbs the field. Quiet levels are expected from 10 - 16 July. Another recurrent CH HSS is expected to become geoeffective on 17 July bringing quiet to unsettled conditions. A further increase to active levels with a chance for isolated minor storm periods at high latitudes is expected during 19 - 21 July followed by quiet to unsettled levels on 22 July as the effects from the CH HSS subside. Quiet levels are expected from 23 - 25 July.
