Bulletin

The solar activity remains very low. The GOES background X-ray flux is near B1-level. The period of lacking solar activity is expected to continue. No Earth directed CMEs were observed in the last 24 hours.

The solar wind disturbance due to the influence of the coronal high speed streams is weakening. The magnetic field magnitude is currently near 5 nT and solar wind speed is stable at about 450 km/s. Geomagnetic conditions is quiet to unsettled (K=3 at maximum), which is expected to continue for the next 48 hours. An elongated positive polarity coronal hole is currently transiting the central meridian which may result in a solar wind disturbance within 3 days.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 000, based on 24 stations.
