Bulletin

No active regions visible on the Sun. No flares observed, nor expected.

No Earth directed CMEs in the past 24 h. Solar protons have remained at background levels over the past 24 hours.

The solar wind speed is at 380 km/s with interplanetary magnetic field magnitude of 7 nT (with Bz up to -7 nT). Quiet to unsettled geomagnetic conditions have been observed in the past 24 h locally at Dourbes (K = 1-3), and one active period observed at planetary level (Kp = 4). The solar wind from a weak and patchy negative polarity coronal hole could be influencing the Earth, the same situation can be expected for the coming days.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 000, based on 24 stations.
