#Weekly Highlights and Forecasts

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 07 - 13 January 2019

Solar activity was very low. The solar disk was spotless during the reporting period. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels on 07-10 Jan and moderate levels on 11-13 Jan. The peak flux was 2,970 pfu observed at 07/2040 UTC.

Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to active levels. Solar wind parameters began the period under waning negative polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) effects. Solar wind speed began the period near 535 km/s, but diminished to near 345 km/s by 10/0720 UTC. Total field remained at 6 nT or less during this time. The geomagnetic field responded with quiet to unsettled levels on 07 Jan followed by quiet levels on 08-10 Jan. By late on 10 Jan, solar wind speed once again increased to near 515 km/s by 11/0435 UTC

New Year's surprise!

AR 2732 surprised us at the beginning of the new year!

This region belongs to

the decaying solar cycle 24 and - as usual - it had a relatively short life, appearing west of the cm, and just barely made it to the western limb.

This region will also very doubtfully return to the eastern side

of the sun next rotation.

The region produced no big threats for major flares.

MINIMUM Cycle 24/25 is expected to occur between November 2019/May 2020. Latest: Predicted minimum April 2020. Value: Approx. 2008/2009 low values.
