Bulletin

Solar activity has been very low, no C-class flares in past 24 h. At most isolated C-class flares can be expected. Geomagnetic conditions have ranged from quiet to unsettled. Currently the Earth is inside slow solar wind (400 km/s), but speed is increasing and the interplanetary magnetic field intensity is high (~25 nT). This most likely marks the compression region ahead of the fast speed stream from a coronal hole. Active to major storm periods are expected in the next 24h.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 042, based on 14 stations.
