Bulletin
Several C-class flares in past 24h. The strongest one was a C4.5 flare from AR 2014 peaking at 00:10 UT. AR 2010, 2014 and 2015 have potential for M-class flares. Geomagnetic conditions are quiet, solar wind speed is around 400 km/s with IMF values lower than 5 nT. The conditions may reach active and minor storm levels when/if the CME of March 23 arrives to the Earth, expected early on March 26.
Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 099, based on 16 stations.Solar indices for 23 Mar 2014
