Bulletin

Active regions NOAA 1755 and 1756 have further decreased in size. Solar activity was very low during the past 24 hours. There still is a chance for C-class flare activity. The solar wind speed measured by ACE still reaches high values, currently being at 700 km/s. The magnitude of the interplanetary magnetic field is lower than 5 nT. Geomagnetic conditions are quiet to unsettled and are expected to remain so for the next 48 hours. From the end of day 3 on, we expect the influence of a coronal hole currently approaching the central meridian.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 053, based on 15 stations.
