ARLP028 Propagation de K7RA

Solar activity was a bit lower this week. Seven new sunspot groups 
appeared. The only day with no new sunspot groups was Sunday, July 21. 
The next day two new sunspot groups arose, and all other days each had 
one new group.

Average daily sunspot number was 208.1, down from 215.9, while average 
daily solar flux declined from 226 to 193.

Geomagnetic numbers remained quiet, with average planetary A index 
unchanged at 6, and middle latitude numbers changing from 8 to 7.3. 
Future geomagnetic indicators look very quiet, for many weeks.

The outlook for the next few weeks has solar flux reaching a short term 
maximum of 230 on August 12-14.

sent out this alert on July 25.

"MAJOR FARSIDE SOLAR FLARE: Europe's Solar Orbiter (SolO) spacecraft 
just detected the most intense solar flare of the current solar cycle. 
The X14-category explosion sprayed energetic particles throughout the 
solar system, causing high dose rates on Mars and even hitting Earth on 
the opposite side of the sun. The source of the flare could turn to face 
our planet late next week."

Predicted solar flux is 170 on July 26-27, 165 on July 28-29, 170 on 
July 30 through August 1, 165 on August 2, then 170, 180 and 190 on 
August 3-5, 200 on August 6-11, 230 on August 12-14, 210 on August 15, 
then 200 on August 16-18, 195 and 185 on August 19-20, 180 on August 
21-23, 175 on August 24, 170 on August 25-27, 165 on August 28-29, and 
170 on August 30-31. Flux values may climb to 230 again on September 8-9.

Predicted planetary A index is 10, 18 and 8 on July 26-28, 5 on July 29 
through August 14, 8 on August 15-16, and 5 on August 17 through 
possibly mid September, a long stretch of very quiet conditions.

Weekly Commentary on the Sun, the Magnetosphere, and the Earth's 
Ionosphere for July 25, 2024.

So here we are on Thursday, July 25th. Initially it appeared there would 
be a continued period of high solar activity, including flares. A 
logical continuing chain of predictions of increased geomagnetic 
activity, especially after major flares. Then finally at 1351 UTC a 
message came from NOAA containing the words: "WARNING: Geomagnetic 
Sudden Impulse expected. IP Shock Passage Observed: 2024 Jul 25 1315 
UTC." The development continued and we could read the message from 
Boulder, Co.: "SUMMARY: Geomagnetic Sudden Impulse Observed: 2024 Jul 25 
1422 UTC. Deviation: 8 nT. Station: BOU." After all, after a series of 
solar flares, this was no longer a major surprise while the week-old 
forecast by Tom Bayer (RWC Prague, Department of Geomagnetism, Budkov 
Observatory was fulfilled.

But it was not a big surprise, the previous major disturbance occurred 
on 28 June, or 26 days ago. If the mentioned geomagnetic disturbance 
develops and lasts longer, it will adversely affect shortwave conditions 
in the following days, possibly until Sunday. However, the recovery 
could be even faster due to the high solar activity. F. K. Janda, A.R.S.
