Solar wind speed measured by DSCOVR varied between about 300 and 340 km/s in the past 24 hours, while the magnitude of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) varied between about 1 and 8 nT. Quiet geomagnetic conditions (K Dourbes between 0 and 2; NOAA Kp between 0 and 2) were registered in the past 24 hours. Quiet to unsettled levels (K Dourbes < 4) are expected on February 14, 15 and 16.
