Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
13 May - 08 June 2013

Solar activity is expected to be at low levels with moderate
activity likely and a chance for high activity levels throughout the
forecast period.

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to be at high levels begiining on 24 May and lasting
through 31 May in response to a recurrent coronal hole high speed
stream. Normal to moderate levels are expected for the balance of
the period.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at quiet to unsettled
levels through the period with the exception of 15-16, 21-23. amd
28-29 May. Unsettled to active levels are expected on 15-16 May with
the arrival of a glancing blow from the CME observed on 12 May.
Conditions are expected to be unsettled to active on 21-23 May, and
28-29 May with in response to recurrent coronal hole high speed
stream. Another high speed stream may bring unsettled conditions on
2-4 June.
