Solar Outlook 4/6
Per Connie Howell: Our Space Weather’s changed pretty quickly in the past 2 days – we’re out of Geomagnetic Storm Watches, Solar Wind Speed’s dropped into the 400 km/sec range today, and Solar Flares are mainly staying in the B Class range since Sun Spot 4409 lost size and power during its transit of the Sun-Earth Line. That Sun Spot will be in its Farewell Volley position tomorrow, so the Solar Flares it generates may go back into the M Class range for the next 5 days. Good News – it’s not likely it’ll toss any CMEs directly at Earth during those days.
.
Electron Saturation’s staying over its Alert Threshold, and today it hovered at >10K pfu for a couple hours. It’ll likely stay over its Alert Threshold for a few more days.

Yesterday (4/6) was a mixed bag. Solar winds were down but tinnitus stayed high pitched and constant, but not as loud. Pain level went up in the afternoon, about the time there was some sort of energy thing in the Schumann Resonance, but in general it was a good day. Still waking up every two hours during the solar winds, though.
