Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
30 March - 05 April 2020

Solar activity was very low throughout the period. Region 2759 (N28,
L=263, class/area Hrx/030 on 02 Apr) formed on the disk on 31 Mar
and produced a few B-class events early on 04 Apr. The region
decayed to plage on 05 Apr. No Earth-directed CMEs were detected. 

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached
high levels on 01-04 Apr and moderate levels on 30-31 Mar and 04-05
Apr. A maximum flux of 1,690 pfu was observed on 02 Apr at 1750 UTC. 

Geomagnetic field activity was at unsettled to active levels on
30-31 Mar due to negative polarity CH HSS influence. The remainder
of the period experienced quiet to unsettled levels with an isolated
active period observed late on 03 Apr. 

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
06 April - 02 May 2020

Solar activity is expected to be very low 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 reach high levels on 19-22 Apr and 29-30 Apr. Normal to
moderate levels are expected to prevail throughout the remainder of
the outlook period. 

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to reach unsettled to active
levels on 10-11 Apr, 15-19 Apr and 26-27 Apr due to negative
polarity CH HSS influence. Generally quiet or quiet to unsettled
conditions are expected to prevail throughout the remainder of the
outlook period.
