Solar activity was very low with X ray flux remaining below B level. Catania sunspot group 79 was shortlived while Catania sunspot group 80 was numbered NOAA 2708 (Beta; McIntosh Cro). Another region is rotating on the disk in the Northern hemisphere. The chance for any C class flares remains very low.
No Earth directed CMEs have been detected in coronagraph data.
The solar proton flux levels are at background values and are expected to remain so.
A shock was observed in the solar wind at 9:27UT with solar wind speed jumping from 340 to 370 km/s and total magnetic field from under 4nT to close to 7nT. Afterwards a further increase to a peak of near 12.5nT was observed. Bz became more volatile with a peak down to -9.5 nT. The shock is probably related to the upcoming interaction region and high speed stream from a negative polarity coronal hole although the magnetic field phi angle currently still indicates connection to a positive sector. Magnetic field is expected to remain elevated and perturbed and probably rising further. This will be followed by a further increase of the solar wind speed as the high speed stream sets in.
Geomagnetic conditions were quiet (local K Dourbes 1-2 and NOAA Kp 0-1). Geomagnetic conditions are likely to increase to active and minor geomagnetic storm levels with the passage of a sector boundary crossing and co-rotating interaction region in the next 24 hours. They will remain elevated as the high speed stream continues.
