INFO FROM SIDC - RWC BELGIUM 2013 Dec 20 12:22:00

Six C-flares and two M-flares were observed during the past 24 hours. The
strongest flare was a M3.5 event taking place at the east limb, from a
region that currently is rotating to the front side of the solar disk.
There were no Earth-directed CME observed. 
The probability for C-flares remains high, around 80%, from NOAA ARs 1917,
1920, 1928, 1930 and a new region at about 40 degrees west of the central
meridian. There is a substantial chance (around 60%) for more M-flares,
especially from the unnumbered region currently at the east limb.  An
X-flare is possible but unlikely.  The proton flux for >10MeV protons,
measured by GOES, currently remains well below threshold levels. We are
currently in a slow solar wind stream with a solar wind speed of
350 km/s and a magnitude of the interplanetary magnetic field of 5 nT
(observed by ACE). Current geomagnetic conditions are quiet to unsettled
(Kp<4) and are
expected to remain so during the next 48 hours.
