Solar activity remained at low levels during the past week. The X‑ray flux stayed mostly in the B range from June 22 through midday on June 23, after which it rose to the C level and remained there for the rest of the week. Numerous C‑class flares were produced by multiple active regions throughout the period. The strongest events observed from Monday through Sunday were C1.5, C8.7, C3.8, C6.6, C5.7, a long‑duration double‑peak C7.4, and C9.5, respectively. The largest active region on the disk was AR 14478 in the southern hemisphere, which, along with AR 14475, also located in the southern hemisphere, was responsible for most of the week’s flaring activity. Multiple CMEs were also observed in coronagraph imagery during this period, a couple of them likely contained Earth‑directed components. The first CME is expected to arrive at Earth between 29 - 30 June, with a second CME around 1 July. No additional Earth‑directed CMEs were identified.
Helioseismic maps of the far side show no significant
active regions likely to rotate into Earth view in the next few
days.
