Bulletin

Solar activity was very low. No C flares were observed in the past 24 hours. Solar activity is expected to remain very low (no C flaring) for the next 24 hours. Solar wind speed measured by DSCOVR varied between about 280 and 330 km/s in the past 24 hours, while the magnitude of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) varied between about 0.5 and 6.5 nT. Quiet to unsettled geomagnetic conditions (K Dourbes between 0 and 3; NOAA Kp between 0 and 1) were registered in the past 24 hours. Due to the expected arrival of the CME of November 5, active to minor storm conditions (K Dourbes equal to 4 or 5) are possible in the second half of November 8 and on November 9. On November 10, active to moderate storm conditions (K Dourbes between 4 and 6) are possible due to the expected arrival of a negative coronal hole high speed stream.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 000, based on 16 stations.
