The Sun released one M flare and seven high C flares during the past 24 hours, produced by NOAA AR 2242 and 2241. The M1.4 flare was released by NOAA AR 2241 on December 17 with peak time 19:01 UT. Measured on new LASCO C3 imagery, the halo CME associated to the M8.7 flare of December 17 has an estimated velocity of 538 km/s, which yields an estimated arrival time at Earth around 15h UT on December 20. M and even X flaring from AR 2242 and AR 2241 are possible in the next 24 hours. There is a chance for proton storms in the days ahead. In the past 24 hours, solar wind speeds observed by ACE were nominal between about 340 and 440 km/s. The magnitude of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) rose from about 5 to 7.5 nT. In the past 24 hours, geomagnetic conditions were quiet (K Dourbes between 0 and 3; NOAA Kp between 1 and 2). Quiet geomagnetic levels (K Dourbes < 4) are expected on December 18, 19 and the first half of December 20. Active (K Dourbes = 4) to minor storm conditions (K Dourbes = 5) are possible in the second half of December 20 in view of the expected CME arrival.
Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 122, based on 03 stations.
