#Weekly Highlights and Forecasts

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 04 - 10 February 2019

Solar activity was at very low levels. There were no numbered sunspot regions. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit ranged from moderate to high levels with a peak flux of 8,980 pfu observed on 04 Feb. High levels were observed on 04 Feb as a result of elevated solar wind speeds. Flux levels then ranged from moderate to high levels through 07 Feb under a mostly background solar wind regime, and remained at moderate to high levels through 10 Feb while under weak CH HSS influences.

Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to active levels. Unsettled periods were observed late in the day on 04 Feb into the first period of 05 Feb as solar wind speeds decreased from around

Image Reports

January 2019's primary

AR 2733 developed from Jan 22 until passing w-linb 31 Jan. new year!

This region belongs to

the decaying solar cycle 24

and we saw a nice development that persisted

until passing w limb.

On Jan 27 the class and CV reached a DSI (CV=28) and the main spot developed a nice penumbra, giving promises for a return in February, but ended up as a now-show.

The region produced no big threats for major flares.

Congratulations to CV-086 TOS-POLAND

who passed 7000 CV-observations on 09 January 2019!
