Bulletin
None of the active regions on the solar disk poses a serious potential for flaring. In total, we estimate there is a 30% for a minor C-flare. Quiet (K<4) geomagnetic conditions are expected in the coming day. A partial halo CME was observed by LASCO, leaving the Sun towards the SE quadrant on Oct 4, 19:18. This event is determined to be back-sided and will thus not have geomagnetic consequences.
