SDF Number 159 Issued at 2200Z on 08 Jun 2021

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 07/2100Z to 08/2100Z:

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C2 event observed at 08/1723Z. There are currently 2 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.

IB. Solar Activity Forecast:

Solar activity is expected to be very low with a slight chance for a C-class flare on days one, two, and three (09 Jun, 10 Jun, 11 Jun).

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 556 km/s at 08/0055Z. Total IMF reached 11 nT at 07/2136Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -8 nT at 07/2141Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 154 pfu.

IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast:

The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on days one and two (09 Jun, 10 Jun) and quiet levels on day three (11 Jun).
