Bulletin

The GOES X-ray flux is at lower B-class flare level, without any flares noted. NOAA active region (AR) 2550 is close to the West limb, while NOAA AR 2551 is currently already out of view. No new regions were detected. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed. The probability for C-flares is low (estimated at 15%).

Solar wind observations are nominal, with a magnetic field magnitude below 5 nT and a solar wind speed near 300 km/s. Geomagnetic conditions are quiet and are expected to remain so for the next 48 hours. Solar wind disturbances are expected from June 5 on, due a high speed stream from an equatorial coronal hole (CH).

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 000, based on 15 stations.
