Bulletin

Over the past 24 hours the solar activity was very low with no flaring activity recorded. The Catania sunspot group 55 (NOAA active region 2680) is the only present region on the disc, and is unlikely to produce any flaring activity. We expect the solar activity to remain quiet until the returning region (Catania sunspot group 49 / NOAA active region 2676) will come from behind the East solar limb by the end of the day.

No Earth directed CMEs have been observed and the solar protons remained at background level in the past 24 hours.

Solar wind speed starts a slow overall decline from about 700 km/s to 500 km/s. The interplanetary magnetic field magnitude returned to its nominal 3-6 nT range with the Bz component fluctuating between -4 and 4 nT. The solar wind is expected to further recover to nominal conditions over the next days.

Geomagnetic conditions were quiet to active (local K Dourbes 1-4, NOAA Kp 1-3) and are expected to remain quiet to unsettled over the next days.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 012, based on 21 stations.
