Solar activity was at low levels. Region 4126 (N07W84, Dro/beta) produced a few low level C-class flares as it began its tranist of the western limb. Region 4132 (S17E42, Axx/alpha) exhibited decay as it produced a low level C-class flare as well. Regions 4127 (S18W09, Dai/beta) and 4129 (N02E09, Cri/beta) continued to grow, developing additional spots and increasing in length. Region 4133 (S17W79, Axx/alpha) was numbered this period, but was otherwise unremarkable. The remaining active regions were relatively stable and quiet. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery. .Forecast... A slight chance for R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts due to isolated M-class flare activity will persist through 05 July. Energetic Particles .24 hr Summary... The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached high levels with a peak flux of 4,930 pfu observed at 02/1430 UTC. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at background levels. .Forecast... The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to be at normal to moderate levels through 04 July with a chance for a return to high levels on 05 July. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to continue at background levels through 05 July. Solar Wind .24 hr Summary... Solar wind parameters reflected a mostly nominal solar wind environment. Total field ranged 2-7 nT and the Bz component was -4 to 2 nT. Solar wind speeds gradually decreased from ~450 km/s to near 360 km/s by the end of the period. Phi was predominantly in the negative solar sector. .Forecast... Enhancements in the IMF are likely on 03 July with the arrival of a CME that left the Sun on 28 Jun. An additional enhancement due to faster solar wind influences is expected by early 04 July, continuing into 05 July. Geospace .24 hr Summary... The geomagnetic field was quiet. .Forecast... G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storming is likely 03 July due to the aforementioned CME effects. Unsettled to active periods are expected on 04 July due to CH HSS effects which expected to continue into 05 July resulting in primarily unsettled conditions.
