Bulletin

Solar activity was low, no C-class flares in past 24 h. NOAA 2697 has decayed into a plage, no significant flares are expected in the coming hours.

Proton flux levels are at background values and are expected to remain so. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed.

Solar wind speed is at 380 km/s with interplanetary magnetic field magnitude of 3 nT. Geomagnetic conditions have been quiet. The northern polar coronal hole as a low latitude extension (reaching up to 20 degrees northern latitude) that could affect the Earth in 48 h, until then quiet conditions can be expected.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 000, based on 10 stations.
