The latest Joint USAF/NOAA Solar Geophysical Activity Report indicates low solar activity and quiet geomagnetic conditions over the past 24 hours, with forecasts predicting continued very low solar activity and quiet to active geomagnetic levels for the coming days. The report, issued on August 6, 2026, details current space weather observations and a three-day outlook.
Currently, five numbered sunspot regions are visible on the solar disk. Solar activity is expected to remain very low, with a chance for C-class flares and a slight chance for M-class flares on August 7 and 8. August 9 also carries a chance for C-class flares.
Geomagnetic conditions have been quiet, with solar wind speed peaking at 358 km/s. The geomagnetic field is anticipated to be at quiet to active levels on August 7 and 9, and quiet to unsettled levels on August 8. Probabilities for minor storms at middle latitudes are 15% on August 7, 1% on August 8, and 5% on August 9, while high latitudes face higher chances of minor and major-severe storms.
