Bulletin

Solar activity is very low and only one B-class flare was reported during last 24 hours. The long duration B3.0 flare (peaking at 00:57 UT on April 30) originated from the Catania sunspot group 18 (NOAA AR 2653). The flare was associated with the on disc CME signatures, EIT wave and coronal dimming. Presently available coronagraph images show that associated CME had angular width of about 90 degrees and as such it is not very probable that it will arrive at the Earth. No Earth directed CMEs have been observed and the solar protons remained at background level in the past 24 hours.

The Earth is presently inside the slow solar wind with the speed of about 390 km/s, and the interplanetary magnetic field magnitude has the value of about 3nT. The geomagnetic conditions are quiet and we expect them to remain so in the coming hours.

As we expect flaring activity to be below the C-class level, quiet geomagnetic conditions and no particle events, we will issue the all quiet alert.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 024, based on 21 stations.
