Bulletin

Solar activity is very low, no C-class flares in past 24h. C-class flares remain possible for the next 24 hours. Solar wind speed at the Earth is 450 km/s with interplanetary magnetic field magnitudes of 5 nT. Geomagnetic conditions have been quiet and are expected to remain so, except if the CME from January 6 arrives to the Earth later today (20% chances) and elevate conditions to active levels.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 082, based on 13 stations.
