Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
10 - 16 August 2026

Solar activity ranged from very low to low levels throughout the
period. No R1 (Minor) or greater events were observed. The largest
flare was a C8.2/Sn at 16/1928 UTC from Region 4506 (N12, L=215,
class/area=Dao/100 on 16 Aug). An associated CME was observed in
LASCO C2 imagery following the C8.2 flare, but analysis is ongoing
in order to determine any Earth-directed component. Other activity
included the lift-off of avlarge filament near S16E22 at 14/0332 UTC
which produced a CME that is expected to arrive on 17-18 Aug.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was
normal to moderate levels throughout the period.

Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet or quiet to unsettled levels
throughout the period.
