Bulletin

There was a C1.8 flare peaking at 11:37 UT, from a region rotating over the east limb. Solar activity will likely increase in the coming hours. The Earth is inside a high speed stream from a coronal hole. Solar wind speed is at 600 km/s and the interplanetary magnetic field magnitude reached 18 nT (decreased to 7 nT at present) and created minor storm conditions at planetary levels after midnight (K = 5) and active conditions locally (KDourbes = 4). The situation is expected to continue for 48 h.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 033, based on 12 stations.
