Bulletin

Solar activity is very low, with the background X-ray flux of a low B-class level. No changes of solar activity are foreseen in the following 48 hours. The Earth is still inside a slow solar wind flow with the speed of about 350 km/s. The interplanetary magnetic field magnitude is 6 nT. The geomagnetic conditions are quiet to moderate and expected to remain so. The possible arrival of the fast speed stream from the small equatorial coronal hole, during the following hours, is not expected to result in the change of the current geomagnetic conditions.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 023, based on 09 stations.
