SIDC URSIGRAM 41224
SIDC SOLAR BULLETIN 24 Dec 2004, 1218UT
SIDC FORECAST (valid from 1230UT, 24 Dec 2004 until 26 Dec 2004)
SOLAR FLARES  : Eruptive (C-class flares expected, probability >= 50%)
GEOMAGNETISM  : Quiet (A<20 and K<4)
SOLAR PROTONS : Quiet
PREDICTIONS FOR 24 Dec 2004  10CM FLUX: 098 / AP: 002
PREDICTIONS FOR 25 Dec 2004  10CM FLUX: 099 / AP: 002
PREDICTIONS FOR 26 Dec 2004  10CM FLUX: 101 / AP: 005
COMMENT: NOAA AR 0713, Catania sunspot group 90, is now situated close to the
central meridian. It has produced several C-flares recently, including C5.1
flare yesterday, so there is a possibility of an Earth-directed CME. A
low-latitude coronal hole in the northern hemisphere is now situated close to
the central meridian. Disturbed geomagnetic conditions are possible in 2 - 3
days. The north - south component of the interplanetary magnetic field Bz is now
close to zero, so we expect the geomagnetic situation to stay quiet in the
coming hours.
