Bulletin

The background X-ray flax has a low B-level. There were no C-class flares during last 24 hours. C-class flares are still possible, in particular from the Catania sunspot group 80 (NOAA AR 1670) which has the beta-gama configuration of its photospehric magnetic field. Earth is currently inside a slow solar wind with a speed of about 350 km/s. The interplanetary magnetic field magnitude is stable with value of about 5 nT. The partial halo CME from February 9 might arrive at the Earth on February 12 producing unsettled geomagnetic conditions. We expect geomagnetic conditions in the next 48 hours.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 029, based on 12 stations.
