549 FXXX06 KWNP 030156 WEKHIL :Product: 7-day Space Weather Highlights :Issued: 2024 Jun 03 0120 UTC # Prepared by the US Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center # Product description and SWPC contact on the Web # https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/content/subscription-services # # 7-day Space Weather Highlights # Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 27 May - 02 June 2024 Solar activity ranged from low to high levels throughout the period. Region 3697 (S18, L=350, class/area=Eki/420 on 30 May) was the most productive region this period and produced five X-class flares, and seven M-class flares; the largest of which was an X2.8 flare at 27/0708 UTC. Region 3691 (N25, L=042, class/area=Ekc/480 on 27 May) produced three M-class events and Region 3695 (N27, L=028, class/area=Cao/30 on 01 Jun) produced a single M-class flare. Other notable activity included a long-duration X1.4/2b flare at 29/1437 UTC from Region 3697, with accompanying Type II and IV radio emissions, and an Earth-directed partial halo CME that arrived on 31 May. Additionally, an impulsive X1.0/2b flare at 01/1836 UTC and a long-duration M7.3 flare at 01/1939 UTC, both from Region 3697, resulted in a CME that is likely to glance by Earth on 04 Jun. No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at normal to moderate levels. Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet and quiet to unsettled levels throughout much of the period. An isolated period of G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storming was observed early on 31 May due to CME activity.
