SIDC FORECAST (valid from 1230UT, 02 Feb 2005 until 04 Feb 2005)
SOLAR FLARES  : Quiet conditions (<50% probability of C-class flares)
GEOMAGNETISM  : Quiet (A<20 and K<4)
SOLAR PROTONS : Quiet
PREDICTIONS FOR 02 Feb 2005  10CM FLUX: 083 / AP: 006
PREDICTIONS FOR 03 Feb 2005  10CM FLUX: 085 / AP: 004
PREDICTIONS FOR 04 Feb 2005  10CM FLUX: 089 / AP: 018
COMMENT: Solar activity has remained low over the past 24 hours. The
solar X-ray flux has remained below B-level all the time. Solar
conditions are expected to remain quiet for the next 48 hours. After
that, we expect the return of Catania sunpot group 05 (NOAA 0720).
Geomagnetic conditions are quiet also. The solar wind speed is decreasing
and the IMF is near zero.
A large CME was detected in LASCO images at 11:06 UT on Feb 01. It was
mostly eastwards directed and determined to be backsided. However, just
before this time, a coronal dimming was clearly visible in EIT images,
while near the same time the low energy proton fluxes (as measured by
ACE/EPAM) started to rise. This may indicate that a weak frontsided CME
occurred at the same time, which may cause some geomagnetic perturbations
late tomorrow.
