Bulletin

There are currently three numbered sunspot groups on the solar disc. Solar activity is very low, with no C-class flares reported since September 06. The Earth is currently inside a slow solar wind flow with the speed of about 350 km/s. The interplanetary magnetic field is stable with the magnitude of about 4 nT. The geomagnetic conditions are quiet and expected to remain so until the arrival of the fast speed stream in the following 24 hours.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 017, based on 11 stations.
