Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
27 June - 03 July 2016

Solar activity was very low. The disk was spotless for the entire
period with no measurable flare activity.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at
high levels from 27-30 Jun and dropped to normal to moderate levels
for the remainder of the period.

Geomagnetic field activity was quiet to unsettled on 27-28 Jun due
to diminishing negative polarity CH HSS effects. Mostly quiet
conditions were observed on 29 Jun. Quiet to unsettled conditions
were observed for the remainder of the week with an isolated active
period on 02/2100-2400 UTC due to effects from a series of coronal
holes.

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
04 July - 30 July 2016

Solar activity is expected to be very low throughout the forecast
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 04-07, 16-19, and 22-26 Jul
following recurrent CH HSS events.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at quiet to unsettled
levels early on 04 Jul followed by quiet conditions through 07 Jul.
Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected to return from 08-15 Jul
with active periods likely on 11-12 Jul due to effects from a series
of recurrent coronal holes. Quiet conditions are expected to return
from 16-18 Jul. Another recurrent CH HSS is expected to cause quiet
to unsettled conditions from 19-23 Jul with isolated active periods
likely on 19 Jul. Mostly quiet levels are expected for the remainder
of the period with unsettled periods possible on 28 and 30 Jul due
to recurrent coronal holes.
