ARLP023 Propagation de K7RA

Sunspot numbers rose this week, with the average changing from 139.4 to 
149.6, but average daily solar flux only shifted from 179.2 to 178.

Only four sunspot groups emerged this week. There was one on June 15 and 
three on June 19.

Average daily planetary A index only changed from 11.6 to 10.3.

Predicted solar flux is 205 and 210 on June 21-22, then 200 June 23-27, 
then 190, 185, and 190, on June 28-30, then 190, 195, 190, 185 and 190 
on July 1-5, 180 on July 6-7, 165 on July 8-9, 180 on July 10, then 170 
on July 11-13, 175 on July 14, 180 on July 15-17, 175 on July 18-19, 190 
on July 20-21, then 180, 175, 180, 190, 180, 185 and 190 on July 22-28.

Predicted planetary A index is 10, 12 and 10 on June 21-23, then 5 on 
June 24-29, 8 on Jun 30 to July 1, then 5 on July 2-14, then 12, 8, 8, 
and 5 on July 15-18, 8 on July 19-20, and 5 on July 21-26, then 8 on 
July 27-28.

Weekly Commentary on the Sun, the Magnetosphere, and the Earth's 
Ionosphere - June 20, 2024, from OK1HH.

F.K. Janda is going on vacation and will not have a report for us over 
the next few weeks.

"Watching the Sun at its current 11-year peak of activity is certainly 
not boring. On the contrary, we are experiencing quite frequent 
surprises. For example, a week ago we observed an increased attenuation 
of radio waves in the polar region (PCA = POLAR CAP

ABSORPTION EVENT), caused by protons coming from the far side of the 
Sun. Then, on 15 June (at 1157 UTC), a cloud of particles unexpectedly 
hit the Earth, triggering a weak G1 class geomagnetic storm.

"Over the next few days, AR3712 became larger, followed by AR3713 and 
AR3716. All three of these large sunspot groups are already located in 
the western half of the solar disk, where particles from a possible 
larger flare are more likely to hit Earth. In addition,

all three regions have an unstable magnetic field and are therefore more 
likely to have M- or X-class flares.

"Of the largest sunspot groups observed this cycle, two will soon 
reappear on the eastern limb of the solar disk (in May they were 
designated AR3663 and AR3664). The first of these will begin to emerge 
on the solar disk this weekend. The second, and then largest group, will 
follow a few days after that. Fortunately, solar activity will remain 
high, but unfortunately, changes in propagation conditions will be 
harder to predict."
