#Weekly Highlights and Forecasts

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 06 - 12 January 2020

Solar activity was very low. Region 2755 (S34, L=355, class/area Bxo/020 on 03 Jan) decayed to plage on 07 January and was absent of significant flare activity during the period. New Region 2756 (N22, L=017, class/area Cro/030 on 09 Jan) produced dual B1 flares at 10/1159 UTC and 10/1445 UTC before decaying to plage on 11 January. Both regions, one in the northern hemisphere and one in the southern hemisphere, presented in satellite imagery with reverse polarity magnetic field structure. 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 moderate levels on 09-12 Jan due to coronal hole influence. Normal levels were observed on 06-08 Jan.

Geomagnetic field activity reached active levels on 06 and 09 Jan, unsettled levels on 08 and 10 Jan due to influence from negative

The two "Christmas-regions" regs. 2753 and 2754

They lasted only 3 and 2 days

respectively and only reached class BXO as max. but tells us we now enter cycle 25.

Two more regions emerged early January 2020.

A preliminary low on Adjusted Solar Flux came on January 6, 2020. More news later.
