Bulletin

Solar activity was very low with no C class flares. NOAA active regions (ARs) 2638, 2639 and 2640 were stable. X-ray flux is expected to remain at background level. No Earth directed CMEs have been recorded in coronagraph data. The transequatorial extension of the negative polarity southern polar coronal hole is expected to become geoeffective around midnight 28-Feb-2017/01-March-2017. Proton flux values are expected to remain at background levels. Solar wind speed declined from around 450 km/s to around 350 km/s. Total magnetic field was in the 3:6nT range. Bz was in the -3:4nT range. Solar wind is expected to be at nominal levels over the next 24 hours before an anticipated increase late 28-Feb-2017 due to high speed stream from the negative polarity coronal hole. Geomagnetic conditions have been quiet (local K Dourbes 0-2, NOAA Kp 1-2). Over the next days, geomagnetic conditions are expected to be quiet to unsettled and increasing to quiet to active by late 28-Feb 2017 with the anticipated high speed stream.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 041, based on 18 stations.
