Bulletin

Three sunspot groups are reported by NOAA today: NOAA ARs 1654, 1658 (Catania numbers 64 and 69 respectively), and 1660 (no Catania number yet). A C-class flare is possible in the newly emerged NOAA AR 1660. The Earth is currently inside a slow (around 350 km/s) solar wind flow with weak to average (3-4 nT) interplanetary magnetic field magnitude. We expect quiet geomagnetic conditions.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 035, based on 03 stations.
