Solar flaring intensified due to a new region currently rounding the southeast solar limb. This new sunspot group produced 6 C-class flares and 2 M1 flares, the latter peaking resp. at 20:23UT and 20:42UT. NOAA 2434 produced 3 low-level C-class flares, originating from the small delta north of the main spot. NOAA 2435 and NOAA 2436 produced one C1 flare each, while NOAA 2431 was quiet. No earth-directed coronal mass ejections have been observed.
Further M-class flaring is likely, in particular from NOAA 2434 and the new region at the southeast solar limb.
Around 22:00UT, solar wind speed started a gradual rise from around 350 km/s to its current values between 400 and 450 km/s. Bz was mostly negative, with persistent values around -5 nT between 15-21UT and a strong -11 nT during the 06-09UT interval. The direction of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) varied wildly. In response to the persistently negative Bz, Kp reached active levels during the 18-21UT and 06-09UT intervals. Kp and local K were at minor storming levels during the last interval of the period. A negative equatorial CH may affect the geomagnetic environment late around 21 October.
Mostly quiet to active geomagnetic conditions are expected, with a chance on another minor storming episode from the moderate speed stream.
