Bulletin

NOAA AR 2665 (the only visible AR on the disk) produced an M1.3 flare, with peak at 03:18 UT. This region continues to grow, more M-class flares can be expected (and less likely X-flares).

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

The expected high speed stream from an equatorial coronal hole arrived with a shock at 23:27 UT on July 8. The speed reached 520 km/s with the southward component of the interplanetary magnetic fields reaching - 10 nT, with elevated density, causing active conditions locally (K = 4, at 03:00 UT and 07:00 UT) and minor storm conditions at planetary levels (Kp = 5, between 00:00 UT and 03:00 UT). Disturbed geomagnetic conditions can be expected for the next 24 h.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 045, based on 24 stations.
