Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
18 - 24 January 2021

Solar activity was at low and very levels for the highlight period.
Other than 19-20 Jan, solar activity was very low with minimal
B-level or below x-ray enhancements. Region 2797 (S17, L=335,
class/area Cao/120 on 19 Jan) produced a C1 event on 19 Jan. Region
2798 (S16, L=331, class/area Cao/060 on 20 Jan) produced a C1.4/sf
flare on 20 Jan. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available
coronagraph imagery. 

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit
remained at moderate levels throught the highlight period. 

Geomagnetic field activity was quiet throught the period, except for
19-20 Jan. A single period of unsettled conditions was observed on
both 19 and 20 Jan due to a solar sector boundary crossing (SSBC) as
well as weak CH HSS activity. 







Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
25 January - 20 February 2021

Solar activity is expected to be at very low to low levels
throughout the outlook period. 

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to be at moderate levels throughout the outlook period. 

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to reach unsettled levels on
25-26 Jan, 1-2 Feb, 7-8 Feb, and 20 Feb, due to recurrent CH HSS
activity. Quiet levels are expected for the remainder of the outlook
period.
