> Summary For July 12-18
> Space weather reached strong levels this period.  Minor (R1), moderate
> (R2), and strong (R3) radio blackouts were observed every day of the
> summary period due to solar flare activity from active sunspot Regions
> 646 and 649.  Category G1 (minor) and G2 (moderate) geomagnetic
> storming occurred on 17 July due to a cloud of magnetic material from a
> solar flare on the Sun that impacted Earth.
> 
> Outlook For July 21-27
> Space weather for the next week is expected to reach moderate levels
> with a chance for strong levels.  Two complex sunspot clusters
> currently are visible on the Sun and both have potential to produce R1
> (minor) and R2 (moderate) radio blackouts.  There is a chance also for
> an isolated R3 (strong) blackout from these sunspot groups.  Minor to
> moderate geomagnetic storms and radiation storms are also possible.
