Bulletin

Solar activity has been very low. There are now four numbered active regions on the Sun, but the chances of flaring are still minor. Geomagnetic conditions have been quiet. A fast solar wind from a coronal hole is expected in the next 24h, conditions may rise to active levels with isolated minor storm periods.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 039, based on 11 stations.
