Bulletin

Solar activity remains to be very low, with no C-class reported since January 07. We do not expect significant change in the level of the solar activity, however low C-class flares are still possible in the coming hours. No Earth directed CMEs were observed in the last 24 hours. The Earth is currently inside of the slow solar wind with the speed of about 440 km/s. The interplanetary magnetic field magnitude is slightly elevated, since early this morning, and it amounts about 10 nT. Geomagnetic conditions are quiet and are expected to remain so in the coming hours.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 046, based on 09 stations.
