#Weekly Highlights and Forecasts

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 06 - 12 August 2018

Solar activity was very low throughout the period. No Earth-directed

CMEs were observed in available satellite imagery.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was normal background levels throughout the period.

Geomagnetic field activity was ranged from quiet to active. Quiet levels were observed on 06 Aug, 08-10 Aug and 12 Aug; unsettled levels were reached on 07 Aug and active levels were reached on 11 Aug. Mostly nominal solar wind conditions were observed through the period. A SSBC followed by very weak influence from a negative polarity CH HSS occurred on 11 Aug. Total magnetic field strength briefly reached 11 nT around 11/0400 UTC but no significant periods of southward Bz were observed.
