Bulletin

Over the past 24 hours solar activity has been low. No significant flares have been recorded. No Earth directed Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) have been detected. The greater than 10MeV proton flux remained at background levels over the past 24 hours. Solar activity is expected to remain low over the next 24 hours.

The solar wind speed has fluctuated between 350 and 415 km/s over the past 24 hours. The total magnetic field strength fluctuated around 6 nT for the first part of the period and then slowly increased to a maximum of around 9 nT at around 7:00 UT. The Bz component fluctuated around 0 nT, ranging between -6.3 and +7.7 nT.

Geomagnetic conditions ranged between Kp index 0-3 (NOAA) and local K index 0-3 (Dourbes) over the past 24 hours. Quiet to unsettled geomagnetic levels are expected to continue. Some isolated active intervals are also possible, due to the expected arrival of a weak solar wind stream associated with a recurring, negative polarity equatorial coronal hole which traversed the central meridian on 18 May.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 000, based on 10 stations.
