Bulletin

Solar activity is very low with the B1.6 (peaked at 04:05 UT, on July 02) being the only flare reported during last 24 hours. We expect low solar activity to persist in the coming hours. No Earth directed CMEs were observed in the last 24 hours.

The solar wind speed decreased and it presently amounts about 350 km/s (maximum reached value of about 430 km/s was reported yesterday). The interplanetary magnetic field magnitude is about 4 nT. The geomagnetic conditions are presently quiet, and we expect quiet to unsettled geomagnetic conditions in the coming hours.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 000, based on 18 stations.
