Bulletin

The Sun did not produce any C flares during the past 24 hours. Only B level flaring is expected, with a slight chance for a C flare. The Earth is currently in the aftermath of a coronal hole high speed stream. Solar wind speed first rose from 570 to 670 km/s and then declined to 510 km/s. The magnitude of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field jumped from 5 to 9 nT around 1h UT on July 13. Bz was mostly below -5 nT between 3h and 9h UT, which resulted in a minor storm (NOAA Kp = 5, K Dourbes 4-5 during that period). Quiet to unsettled geomagnetic conditions (K Dourbes < 4) with possible active excursions (K Dourbes = 4) are expected on July 13, 14, and 15.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 056, based on 14 stations.
