    Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
    27 June - 03 July 2022

    Solar activity was at very low to low levels during the period. Low
    levels were observed on 27 and 30 Jun and 03 Jul with C-class
    activity observed from Region 3040 (S13, L=325, class/area Cso/160
    on 24 Jun). Late on 28 Jun, an 11 degree filament erupted along a
    channel centered near N23E20. LASCO C2 imagery observed a narrow CME
    off the W limb with an apparent Earth-directed component.

    No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

    The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at
    high levels on 27-30 Jun and 01 Jul with a maximum flux value of
    6,970 pfu observed at 01/1720 UTC. Normal to moderate levels were
    observed on 02-03 Jul.

    Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet to G1 (Minor) storm levels
    during the period. Unsettled to active levels were observed on 27-28
    Jun due to negative polarity CH HSS effects. Quiet levels were
    observed on 29-30 Jun. Unsettled to active levels were observed on
    01-03 Jul, with an isolated G1 (Minor) storm interval observed early
    on 02 Jul due to CME effects from the 28 Jun DSF.

    Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
    04 July - 30 July 2022

    Solar activity is expected to be at very low to low levels through
    the outlook period.

    No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

    The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
    expected to be at high levels on 08-13, 16-21 and 24-30 Jul due to
    CH HSS influence. Normal to moderate levels are expected on 04-07,
    14-15 and 22-23 Jul.

    Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at unsettled levels on
    05-08, 14-17 and 22-25 Jul with active intervals likely on 06-07,
    15-16, and 22-23 Jul and G1 (Minor) storm levels are likely on 06
    Jul, all due to recurrent CH HSS activity.
