Small Exiting Sun Spots
This reaction is a great example of why small, Exiting Sun Spots shouldn’t be discounted. That little, barely M-Class Solar Flare almost immediately drove Proton Saturation above its Warning Threshold. Connie Howell

9/4 recap
Today was fairly calm with Solar Wind Speeds in the 300 km/sec range and a low HP Index. We’ll continue to enjoy these conditions until sometime on 9/7 into 9/8 when a CME and small CH HSS are expected. NOAA’s currently saying we won’t experience […]
9/3 recap
Today was a fairly quiet day with Solar Wind Speed staying below 400 km/sec, but Electron Saturation continues to hover around its Alert Threshold. . I need to share that this evening’s forecast is incomplete. It looks like NOAA had some technical issues today, based […]
9/2 recap
The past couple of days have been mainly uneventful, except for Electron Saturation hovering around its Alert Threshold 24 hours/day. Solar Flares have been in the B- to C-Class range, except for a single M Class Solar Flare today from an Incoming Sun Spot. Solar […]
8/31 recap
Today was calmer in Solar Activity. The Sun only produced B- to C-Class Solar Flares, our HP Index dropped to HP < 1.0 this evening, and Solar Wind continued to slowly fall. All three of these measures should continue those trends over the next 3 […]
8/30 Recap
Solar Activity was pretty quiet across most measures we follow, except Solar Wind Speed which is still slightly hovering around the 400 km/sec line, though it is dropping into the 300 km/sec range periodically. Most forecasts indicate the next 3 days will be similarly quiet […]
8/29 Recap
Well, we’ve had 2 days of Space Weather and Lunar drama and we’re finally settling down into calmer conditions! Whew! . We had mainly B Class Solar Flares today, and all the C Class Solar Flares were from the large Sun Spot we’ve been watching. […]
8/28 Recap
All 3 Sun Spots in the Sun-Earth Magnetic Line downgraded to capable of B Class Solar Flares, but they’ll be entering their Farewell Volley positions over next 4 days, where they may become more active. In the meantime, we’ve got 3 Incoming B-Class Sun Spots […]
