Bulletin

Solar X-ray flux remained below B level throughout the period. The Solar disk is spotless and X-ray flux is expected to continue to be below C level.

No earth directed CMEs have been recorded.

The proton flux levels were at background values and are expected to remain so.

Solar wind conditions are nominal. Solar wind speed decreased further from around 390 km/s to around 340-350 km/s. Total magnetic field was below 4nT. The magnetic field phi angle was predominantly in the negative sector. Nominal Solar wind conditions are expected over the next days. The Solar wind sector change preceding the coronal hole that is now transiting the central meridian is not expected before January 22 and further associated Solar wind enhancements are expected to set in January 23/24.

Geomagnetic conditions were mostly quiet (local K Dourbes 0-2) with an isolated unsettled period observed in NOAA Kp (0-3). Quiet geomagnetic conditions are expected over the next days, but will later increase to unsettled (from January 22) and thereafter (January 23/24) active periods.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 000, based on 16 stations.
