310 FXXX02 KWNP 090555 WEKFOR :Product: 27-day Space Weather Forecast :Issued: 2026 Feb 09 0534 UTC # Prepared by the US Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center # Product description and SWPC contact on the Web # https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/content/subscription-services # # 27-day Space Weather Forecast # Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 09 February - 07 March 2026 Solar activity is expected to continue at moderate levels with further M-class (R1-R2, Minor-Moderate) flares expected and a chance for X-class (R3-Strong or greater) on 09-10 Feb as Region 4366 transits the western limb. Low levels, with a chance for M-class flares, are expected on 11-22 Feb. An increase to moderate to high levels is once again likely on 23-28 Feb as Region 4366 returns to the visible disk. Conditions should again return to low to moderate levels on 01-07 Mar as old Region 4366 rotates to the far side once again. There is a chance for the 10 MeV proton flux to reach S1-S2 (Minor-Moderate) storm levels through 12 Feb as Region 4366 transits the visible disk and beyond. Levels are likely to be below the S1 (Minor) level on 12-22 Feb. An increase to above the S1 (Minor) storm levels 23-28 Feb is possible as Region 4366 returns to the visible disk. Chances decrease on 01-07 Mar as old Region 4366 rotates to the far side once again. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to be at high levels on 09-10 Feb, 16-21 Feb, 24-25 Feb, and 05-07 Mar as CH HSS influence sporadically continue. Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at unsettled to active levels on 09-10 Feb as CH HSS influence decreases. Barring the potential for CME activity, mostly quiet to unsettled levels are expected from 11-15 Feb, 22-23 Feb, and 26 Feb - 04 Mar. Unsettled to active levels are likely on 16-21 Feb, 24-25 Feb, and 05-07 Mar due to recurrent negative polarity CH HSS effects.
