COMMENT: The influence of the low-latitude coronal hole is expected to end
later today, May 8. The solar wind speed has already declined from 500 to
460km/s over the last 12 hours. The geomagnetic field is expected to be
essentially quiet over the next few days. The new active region Catania#24
(NOAA606) has now appeared at the East limb. It consists of a large isolated
sunspot, and may produce a few C flares, with a low probability for an isolated
M flare.
