Bulletin

NOAA AR 2169 produced an M1.2 flare with peak at 08:41 UT, with an associated Type II radio burst produced by a shock with estimated velocity of 537 km/s. No CME is visible yet in coronagraph images, but more data is needed yet to rule out a possible CME (due to the location of the source region, a CME would most probably not be geoeffective). A partial halo CME was seen yesterday at 17:37 UT off the northeastern limb of the Sun, this is a backsided event that will not affect the Earth. Geomagnetic conditions are quiet and expected to remain so.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 060, based on 13 stations.
