The latest Joint USAF/NOAA Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast, issued on July 29, 2026, indicates low solar activity with a potential for M-class flares in the coming days. The report details current space weather conditions and provides a three-day outlook.
Solar activity has remained at low levels over the past 24 hours, with nine sunspot regions currently visible on the solar disk. Forecasters anticipate continued low solar activity, but with a 25% chance of M-class flares occurring on July 30, July 31, and August 1.
The geomagnetic field has been quiet to unsettled, with solar wind speeds peaking at 401 km/s. Electron levels at geosynchronous orbit reached 723 pfu. Looking ahead, the geomagnetic field is expected to fluctuate between quiet and active levels from July 30 through August 1. Probabilities for minor geomagnetic storms are 10-15% for middle latitudes and 20-30% for high latitudes over the forecast period.
