Bulletin

No C-class flares in past 24 h. Both active regions on disk are relatively simple (Mag.Type: Alpha) and quiet. The X-ray flux is expected to remain below C level.

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

Geomagnetic conditions have been quiet (k = 1-2). Solar wind speed is very low, now at 285 km/s with interplanetary magnetic fields of 3 nT. A high speed solar wind stream from a negative polarity low latitude coronal hole (southern hemisphere) is expected to arrive to the Earth in about 24 h. Active to minor storm conditions expected then.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 011, based on 19 stations.
