Bulletin
Solar activity has been very low (No C-class flares in past 3 days). C-class flares remain possible. Isolated geomagnetic active periods were observed in past 24h, due to the high speed stream from a coronal hole. As the influence of the high speed stream vanishes, mostly unsettled periods are expected.
