No Earth directed Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) have been detected. Solar protons have remained at background levels over the past 24 hours.

Geomagnetic conditions have ranged between K=2 and K=3. The Earth is leaving a high speed stream from a coronal hole. Solar wind speed is now at 580 km/s with interplanetary magnetic fields of 4 nT. There is a small equatorial coronal hole that could affect the Earth within 48 h, but K is not expected to go above 4.
