Solar activity is low, sunspot region 2205 is in decay and no longer a threat for strong solar flares. We also focus on the return of sunspot region 2192, which was the largest sunspot region in 24 years. What will be left of it? We are also experiencing waning CME effects combined with the effects of a coronal hole high speed stream. Aurorae were seen from many high latitude locations. Our header image was taken in Iceland by Michał Rogoś Photography. Stunning work! Unfortunately, the direction of the IMF is pointing northward right now and geomagnetic conditions are back to quiet conditions.
A lot of people come to SpaceWeatherLive to follow the Sun's activity or if there is aurora to be seen, but with more traffic comes higher server costs. Consider a donation if you enjoy SpaceWeatherLive so we can keep the website online!
