    Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
    09 - 15 August 2021

    Solar activity was low. An isolated C1 flare was observed at 13/2108
    UTC from Region 2853 (N22, L=199, class/area, Axx/010 on 14 Aug). No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available imagery.

    No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

    The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached
    moderate levels throughout the reporting period.

    Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to unsettled levels
    throughout the reporting period due to CH HSS influence.

    Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
    16 August - 11 September 2021

    Solar activity is expected to be very low with a chance for C-class
    flare activity.

    No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

    The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
    expected to reach moderate levels throughout the outlook period.

    Geomagnetic field activity is expected to reach active levels on 24
    Aug and 03 Sep with unsettled levels on 16-17, 23-25 Aug and 02-03,
    11 Sep due to recurrent CH HSS activity. Quiet levels are expected
    throughout the remainder of the outlook period.
