5/23: Connnie Howell

I’d be curious to hear how y’all felt today? Every measure we monitor with Solar Activity was within comfortable limits, and some were calmer than normal For instance, our HP Index mainly stayed below HP = 1 0, and Solar Wind Speed was <400 km/sec all night last night and today

However, Electron Saturation is still staying well above its Alert Threshold due to back-to-back Coronal Holes, and it’s likely it’ll stay there for at least 3 more days

Solar Flares were fairly evenly split between B- and C- Class Solar Flares, but NOAA’s still giving us a chance for M Class Solar Flares due to Exiting Sun Spots

Proton Saturation’s holding steady at Normal levels
