Joint USAF/NOAA Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast
SDF Number 154 Issued at 2200Z on 03 Jun 2018

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 02/2100Z to 03/2100Z: Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. There are currently 1 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 and two (04 Jun, 05 Jun) and expected to be very low on day three (06 Jun).

IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 02/2100Z to 03/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 822 km/s at 03/1611Z. Total IMF reached 7 nT at 02/2144Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -6 nT at 02/2142Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 26889 pfu.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on days one and two (04 Jun, 05 Jun) and quiet levels on day three (06 Jun).
