Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
03 - 09 June 2024

Solar activity ranged from moderate to high levels. Region 3697
(S18, L=350, class/area=Fkc/350 on 03 Jun) was the most active
sunspot region this period and produced 14 (R1) Minor events and two
R2 (Moderate) events; the largest of which was a long-duration
M9.7/1f flare at 08/0149 UTC. Following the M9.7 flare, a SEP event
commenced and a partial halo, Earth-directed CME was produced.
Region 3697 also produced an M6.1/2b flare at 06/1506 UTC. Regions
3695 (N27, L=030, class/area=Cao/50 on 03 Jun), 3703 (S08, L=327,
class/area=Dac/200 on 07 Jun), and 3709 (S10, L=218,
class/area=Cai/140 on 09 Jun) each produced a single R1 event.

Solar radiation storm conditions were observed on 08-09 Jun,
following the long-duration M9.7 flare at 08/0149 UTC from Region
3697. The greater than 100 MeV proton flux exceeded 1 pfu beginning
at 08/0225 UTC, reached a peak flux of 8 pfu at 08/0625 UTC, and
decreased below the 1 pfu threshold at 08/1455 UTC. The greater than
10 MeV proton flux exceeded the S1 (Minor) event threshold beginning
at 08/0255 UTC, reached a peak flux of 1,030 pfu at 08/0800 UTC
(S3/Strong), and decreased below S1 levels at 09/2125 UTC.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at
normal to moderate levels throughout the period.

Geomagnetic field activity reached G1 (Minor) storm levels on 03 Jun
due to positive polarity CH HSS influences. Quiet and unsettled
levels were observed on 04-06 Jun. G2 (Moderate) storm levels were
observed on 07 Jun, and active levels were observed on 08 Jun, due
to CME activity. Quiet conditions prevailed on 09 Jun.
