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.
| Jul 30 | Jul 31 | Aug 01 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| S1 or greater | 1% | 1% | 1% |
Rationale: No S1 (Minor) or greater solar radiation storms are expected. No significant active region activity favorable for radiation storm production is forecast.
Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast
No radio blackouts were observed over the past 24 hours.
| Jul 30 | Jul 31 | Aug 01 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| R1-R2 | 30% | 30% | 30% |
