Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C4 event observed at 08/0144Z from Region 3361 (N24W12). There are currently 11 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low with a chance for M-class flares on days one, two, and three (09 Jul, 10 Jul, 11 Jul).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 07-2100Z to 08-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 498 km/s at 07/2123Z. Total IMF reached 7 nT at 08/2047Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -6 nT at 07/2105Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 830 pfu.
