Bulletin
No C-class flares in past 24 h. One beta AR visible on the disk (2635). C-class flares are possible but not very likely.
No Earth directed Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) have been detected. Solar protons have remained at background levels over the past 24 hours.
Geomagnetic conditions have been at k = 1-2 levels. Solar wind speed is now at 350 km/s with interplanetary magnetic fields of 3 nT. Quiet geomagnetic conditions expected.
