In the same period, the Interplanetary Magnetic Field was low around 4 to 5 nT. The geomagnetic activity was at quiet levels (K Dourbes between 0 and 2; NOAA Kp between 0 and 2) during the past 24 hours. Quiet conditions (K Dourbes < 4) are expected for September 5 to 7.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 044, based on 12 stations.
