6/27 Recap

We had a bit of jostling today with Solar Wind Speed and Electron Saturation being at uncomfortable levels. Solar Wind Speed dropped during the day, but NOAA’s expecting the incoming CME to bump them up again, before letting Solar Wind Speeds slide on 6/29, and rise on 6/30. NOAA’s expecting Electron Saturation to cross its Alert Threshold each of the coming 3 days.
.
Solar Flares are staying in the C Class range. Our HP Index is staying at calm levels. Proton Saturation is holding at Normal levels.
