Forecast 12.11. - 08.12. by NOAA

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity

Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels. However, there will be a slight chance for low activity (isolated low-level C-class flares) during 20 November - 03 December with the return of (old) Region 1007 (N35, L=252) to the visible disk.

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to reach high levels during 12 - 15 November, 26 November - 03 December, and again during 06 - 08 December.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at quiet levels during 12 - 23 November. Activity is expected to increase to mostly unsettled levels during 24 - 28 November due to a recurrent CH HSS. Quiet levels are expected during 29 November - 02 December followed by an increase to unsettled to isolated active levels during 03 - 06 December due to another recurrent CH HSS. Activity is expected to be mostly quiet during 07 - 08 December as the HSS subsides.

Forecast 29.10.-24.11. by NOAA

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
29 October - 24 November 2008

Solar activity is expected to be very low. No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to reach high levels during 30 October - 06 November and 08- 15 November.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at unsettled to active levels during 29 - 31 October with a chance for minor storm conditions on 30 October due to a recurrent coronal hole high-speed stream. Activity is expected to decrease to mostly quiet levels during 01 - 06 November as the high-speed stream subsides. Activity is expected to increase to minor storm levels with a chance for major storm conditions on 07 November due to a recurrent coronal hole high-speed stream. Activity is expected to decrease to unsettled to active levels during 08 - 09 November as the high-speed stream subsides. Activity is expected to decrease to quiet levels during 10 - 23 November. Activity is expected to increase to unsettled levels on 24 November.
