● Auroral Activity

The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to minor storm levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 506 km/s (Moderately speed) at 22:14 UTC June 15 Total IMF (Bt) reached 19 nT at 20:46 UTC the same day. Strong Solar magnetic field indicating the occurrence of a geomagnetic storm. The higher this value, the better it is for enhanced geomagnetic conditions. Solar physics speak of a moderately strong total interplanetary magnetic field when the Bt exceeds 10nT.

Earth's magnetic field and the IMF (Solar Magnetic field) come into contact at the magnetopause: a place where the magnetosphere meets the solar wind. Earth's magnetic field points north at the magnetopause. If the IMF points south -- a condition scientists call "southward Bz" -- then the IMF can partially cancel Earth's magnetic field at the point of contact.

Solar activity has been at moderate levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a M2 5 event observed at 13:53 UTC on June 17 from Region 3336 (S22E17) it caused a Minor R1 radio blackout over North Atlantic Ocean.

EARTH-DIRECTED SOLAR FLARE: Unstable sunspot AR3335 (described below) exploded today, producing an M2.5-class solar flare (movie) and a minor shortwave radio blackout over the Atlantic Ocean (map). The explosion lasted long enough to lift a CME out of the sun's atmosphere. Confirmation awaits fresh images from SOHO coronagraphs, so stay tuned. SpaceWeather.com

There are currently 8 numbered sunspot regions on the solar disk: AR3333, AR3334, AR3335, AR3336, AR3337, AR3338, AR3339, and new region AR3340
AR3331 is gone

Total number of sunspots has increased to 133 (53 of these are grouped into 8 active regions) NOAA forecasts for the next 24h: 99% chance for C flares, 40% chance for M flares and 10% chance for X flares.

AR3335 (S15E09 size 360MH) has developed a beta-gamma magnetic field that harbors energy for M-class flares

UNSTABLE SUNSPOT: What are the odds of looking at the sun and catching a sunspot in mid-flare? Actually, the odds are pretty good when the sunspot is AR3335. The active region has an unstable 'beta-gamma' magnetic field that has it teetering on the edge of an eruption.Yesterday, amateur astronomer Richard Schrantz of Nicholasville, Kentucky, experienced the phenomenon firsthand:​

SOLAR CYCLE 25 ACTIVITY REPORT JUNE 19_2023

Near-record cold in Northwest may lead to mountain snow.

Updated Jun 18, 2023 5:46 PM PDT
Even with the official start of summer just a few days away, many in the northwestern United States will have to deal with raw and rainy conditions that are more typical of late April than the middle of June.

Temperatures have soared to above historical averages in parts of the Northwest following an abnormally dry May and start to June. However, a robust storm system will help bring in big changes to the weather for this week. In some locations, snowflakes could fly.



"A cold front will continue to drag its way across the Northwest over the coming days. Behind that feature, a core of impressively cold air higher up in the atmosphere will blast its way onshore in the Pacific Northwest to start the workweek," said AccuWeather Meteorologist La Troy Thornton.

Intermittent showers began along the coastal Pacific Northwest on Sunday morning with rain expanding into portions of Idaho and Montana. Generally, rainfall across much of the area on Sunday will not be very heavy in nature. No widespread flooding issues are expected.

Showers will continue along the coast on Monday while rain intensity picks up across western Oregon and portions of eastern Washington.

"Periods of rain and possibly even a rumble or two of thunder are forecast to impact much of the Cascades and portions of the northern Rockies in Idaho and western Montana through early (this) week," Zehr said.

Rain in this area can be heavy at times — especially in the higher elevations where snow is possible —Monday evening through Tuesday evening.



"Snow will fall down to around 4,000 feet in the mountains, and snow may mix with rain in some of the mountain passes," Zehr said.

Although some may consider this early-week rainfall to be a nuisance, it will be welcomed with open arms in portions of Oregon. Any rain that falls in central Oregon will actually be beneficial in nature as much of the area continues to experience severe drought, according to the United States Drought Monitor.

This system will not only usher wet conditions back into the region, but it will also lock in cooler air that will send temperatures to unseasonable levels.

"Temperatures were near historical averages on Saturday but are dropping around 10 degrees lower on Sunday as the storm moves in with some cloudiness," Zehr explained.

On Sunday, high temperatures across the region will top out at 10-15 degrees Fahrenheit below historical averages for mid-June. High temperatures will generally reach the upper 50s to lower 60s west of the Cascades, with highs reaching the upper 60s in the Columbia Basin and mid-50s elsewhere. The higher elevations will be even cooler, with some areas struggling to reach the mid-40s.

For some cities, the mid-June chill will challenge decades-old records.

"The heart of the storm will be over Washington and Oregon on Monday; temperatures will average 10-15 degrees below average," Zehr said.

The mercury in Seattle is expected to reach 59 degrees on Monday, and Portland is forecast to have a high of just 62 degrees. The record lowest high temperature for June 19 is 57 in Seattle and 61 in Portland. In Seattle, the record for the lowest maximum temperature on June 19 was set over 100 years ago in 1916.

I live near Paris and I've seen this arcus coming from south-south-west, it was so large (I have a large view on sky) that I could not see the end at the west nor at the east: It looked infinite. Looking at it coming, it was like a wall and once it was upon us, the wind started to rage and I thought my trees on the terrace were going to be dug up. It was terrific! (I love thunder, rain, wind and storms LOL)

Total number of sunspots has increased to 181 (71 of these are grouped into 11 active regions) NOAA forecasts for the next 24h: 99% chance for C flares, 40% chance for M flares and 10% chance for X flares.

AR3333 (S11W33 size 90MH) has a beta-gamma magnetic field that harbors energy for M-class flares. Its size was reduced considerably in the last 24 hours from 200MH to 90MH.
