Bulletin

Only two weak C-class flares were observed during the past 24 hours, both in the NOAA AR 2473 (Catania number 5). The strongest flare was the C2.1 flare peaking at 09:35 UT. We expect flaring activity on the C-level, with an isolated M-class flare possible but unlikely. The Earth is currently inside a solar wind flow with an intermediate speed (around 480 km/s). The interplanetary magnetic field magnitude is average (5-6 nT). The geomagnetic conditions are on the quiet to unsettled levels and are expected to remain so.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 084, based on 09 stations.
