Bulletin

During the last 24 hours three C-class flares originated from Catania sunspot group 24 (NOAA AR 1785). Further C-class flaring activity is likely from this region. No Earth effective CMEs were observed during this period. Current geomagnetic conditions are quiet to unsettled (K=1 to 3). Geomagnetic storm levels (K=5 to maximally 6) can be reached from tomorrow on due to the arrival (expected around 13h UT on the 13th) of the CME that erupted on the 9th.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 050, based on 13 stations.
