The K7RA Solar Update
"A glancing blow from a recent CME is expected to arrive late on UT
day 28-Jun. Additional to this, solar wind parameter Bz has been
oriented southward for approximately 15 hours. Combined this may
induce G1 geomagnetic conditions. A second CME is expected to arrive
late on UT day 29-Jun and may also cause G1 geomagnetic conditions.
"INCREASED GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY EXPECTED DUE TO CORONAL MASS EJECTION FROM 28-29 JUNE 2024."
Nine new sunspot groups emerged over this reporting week, June

Geomagnetic activity forecast for the period June 28 - July 04,
2024, from Tomas Bayer, RWC Prague, Institute of Geophysics of the
ASCR, Prague, Department of Geomagnetism Budkov observatory (BDV):
"Quiet: June 30 to July 1, 3 and 4
"Unsettled: June 28 and 29, July 1 and 2
"Active: possible June 28 and 29, July 2
"Minor storm: 0
"Major storm: 0
"Severe storm: 0
"Next week, we expect quiet to unsettled conditions. Two unsettled
to active events are possible next week.
"The first one is possible about June 28 - 29, and the other one,
but unlikely, about July 2. Other days, we expect quiet to unsettled
conditions."
