Product: 3-Day Forecast - Issued: 2026 Jun 05 1230 UTC
Prepared by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center.

Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast

The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 3 (below NOAA Scale levels). The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Jun 05-Jun 07 2026 is 6.67 (NOAA Scale G3).

Rationale: Periods of G1-G3 (Minor-Strong) geomagnetic storming are likely on 05 Jun, with a chance for G4 (Severe) storm periods, due to the anticipated arrival of multiple CMEs that left the Sun on 03 Jun.

Solar Radiation Activity Observation and Forecast

Solar radiation, as observed by NOAA GOES-18 over the past 24 hours, was below S-scale storm level thresholds.
