Quiet space weather, Coronal hole

The beginning of June has been very quiet when it comes to space weather. While we did reach minor G1 geomagnetic storm conditions back on the very first day of this month, no other space weather events have occurred which are worth mentioning. The solar wind conditions at Earth have been very underwhelming for a while now and the Sun has also been very quiet as we are starting to reach solar minimum conditions. That said, our automated coronal hole detection system spotted an opening in the corona yesterday. A southern extension of the northern hemisphere polar coronal hole was facing our planet today.
