Bulletin

No flares in the past 24 h. No active regions visible on the solar disk. Solar activity is expected to be low.

No Earth directed CMEs in past 24 h. Solar protons have remained at background levels over the past 24 hours.

The solar wind speed is 370 km/s with interplanetary magnetic fields of 4 nT. Quiet geomagnetic conditions were observed in the past hours. The situation is expected to change in about 24 h due to the arrival of a fast solar wind stream from a negative polarity coronal hole. Active periods can be then observed, with possible isolated minor storm periods.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 000, based on 18 stations.
