Bulletin

Solar activity is low, no C-class flares in past 24 h. NOAA AR 2390 has decreased in size and complexity, no large flares expected.

Geomagnetic conditions are quiet, with solar wind speeds around 350 km/s and interplanetary magnetic field magnitudes of 5 nT. The fast solar wind from a coronal hole is expected to arrive within 48h, up to minor storm periods are possible.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 087, based on 21 stations.
