3-day Solar-Geophysical Forecast
Product: 3-Day Forecast
- Issued: 2026 Apr 03 0030 UTC
Prepared by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center.
Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast
The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 6 (NOAA Scale G2). The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Apr 03-Apr 05 2026 is 6.00 (NOAA Scale G2).
| Apr 03 | Apr 04 | Apr 05 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 00-03UT | 5.33 (G1) | 6.00 (G2) | 3.67 |
| 03-06UT | 4.00 | 6.00 (G2) | 2.00 |
| 06-09UT | 5.67 (G2) | 5.67 (G2) | 3.00 |
| 09-12UT | 3.33 | 3.67 | 3.00 |
| 12-15UT | 4.67 (G1) | 3.33 | 3.00 |
| 15-18UT | 2.67 | 4.67 (G1) | 3.33 |
| 18-21UT | 4.33 | 3.67 | 3.33 |
| 21-00UT | 4.67 (G1) | 4.00 | 3.33 |
Rationale: The geomagnetic field is expected to reach G1-G2 (Minor-Moderate) levels on 03 Apr due to continued CH HSS activity. G1-G2 (Minor-Moderate) levels, with a chance for G3 (Strong), are likely from late on 03 Apr and through 04 Apr due to anticipated effects from the arrival of a CME that left the Sun on 01 Apr. A decrease to active levels is expected over 05 Apr as solar wind enhancements wane.
Solar Radiation Activity Observation and Forecast
Solar radiation, as observed by NOAA GOES-18 over the past 24 hours, was below S-scale storm level thresholds.
| Apr 03 | Apr 04 | Apr 05 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| S1 or greater | 50% | 50% | 25% |
Rationale: There is a chance for the greater than 10 MeV proton flux to exceed S1 (Minor) solar radiation storm levels over 03-05 Apr due primarily to the CME associated with the filament eruption from 01 Apr.
Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast
Radio blackouts reaching the R1 levels were observed over the past 24 hours. The largest was at Apr 02 2026 1815 UTC.
| Apr 03 | Apr 04 | Apr 05 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| R1-R2 | 55% | 55% | 55% |
| R3 or greater | 20% | 20% | 20% |
Rationale: Solar activity is likely to reach moderate (R1/R2-Minor/Moderate) levels, with slight chance for X-class (R3-Strong) flares over 03-05 Apr, due primarily to the flare potential of Regions 4404, 4405 and 4409.

The sun is constantly monitored for sun spots and coronal mass ejections. EIT (Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Telescope) images the solar atmosphere at several wavelengths, and therefore, shows solar material at different temperatures. In the images taken at 304 Angstrom the bright material is at 60,000 to 80,000 degrees Kelvin. In those taken at 171 Angstrom, at 1 million degrees. 195 Angstrom images correspond to about 1.5 million Kelvin, 284 Angstrom to 2 million degrees. The hotter the temperature, the higher you look in the solar atmosphere.

Auroral Activity Extrapolated from NOAA POES
Instruments on board the NOAA Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) continually monitor the power flux carried by the protons and electrons that produce aurora in the atmosphere. SWPC has developed a technique that uses the power flux observations obtained during a single pass of the satellite over a polar region (which takes about 25 minutes) to estimate the total power deposited in an entire polar region by these auroral particles. The power input estimate is converted to an auroral activity index that ranges from 1 to 10.

Radio Communications Impact
D REGION ABSORPTION PREDICTIONS (D-RAP) and VHF and HF Band Conditions
The D-Region Absorption Product addresses the operational impact of the solar X-ray flux and SEP events on HF radio communication.
Long-range communications using high frequency (HF) radio waves (3 - 30 MHz) depend on reflection of the signals in the ionosphere. Radio waves are
typically reflected near the peak of the F2 layer (~300 km altitude), but along the path to the F2 peak and back the radio wave signal suffers attenuation
due to absorption by the intervening ionosphere. The D-Region Absorption Prediction model is used as guidance to understand the HF radio degradation
and blackouts this can cause.

This is Pimoh Daimaoh's Personal Weather station, all data collected is based according to the initial readings from his sensors within the location in Baltazar St. Barangay #60 Caloocan City Philippines. Any comparisons that beyond from other weather sensor(s) readings may vary to its accuracy in different areas specially to compare this information to other weather agencies and amateurs may be differ from their initial records but very close as much as possible recordings. However, this may as accurate report as possible which may help this site as their another DATA information reference in the philippines so take note that never base important decisions that could result in harm to people or property on this weather information, this is just for additional data references.
