No Earth directed Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) have been detected. There are no significant coronal holes or filaments. Solar activity is expected to remain low over the next 24 hours with a low probability of C-class flares. The solar wind speed has fluctuated between 460 and 370 km/s over the past 24 hours. The total magnetic field strength has increased from around 3 to 11 nT, but now appears to be declining again. The Bz component has fluctuated around 0 nT, but was mainly negative yesterday afternoon, from 16:00 UT, reaching -9 nT before turning positive at 01:00 UT this morning, reaching 10 nT. Geomagnetic conditions ranged between Kp index 1-4 (NOAA) and local K index 1-3 (Dourbes) over the past 24 hours. with the peak of 4 coinciding with the negative Bz yesterday afternoon. Geomagnetic conditions are expected to be mainly quiet with a small chance of activity while the magnetic field strength is enhanced.
