COMMENT: Today, peaks in x-ray data of Goes reached the lower C-level. Sunspot
group 75 (NOAA 0570) is the main source of this activity. The solar wind speed
started to increase from 350 to 450 km/s. The recursive large coronal hole
started to push the velocity to higher levels. From Feb 10 on, we expect active
to minor storm geomagnetic conditions.
