More C-flares are thus expected. The Western edge of the equatorial coronal hole reached the central meridian. We expect the fast flow from this coronal hole to arrive late on December 26 - early on December 27 as during the previous rotation the solar wind speed was up to 700 km/s. Geomagnetic disturbance up to the minor storm level is expected. At the time of writing the NOAA SEC Web server is not responding. The real-time ACE data is thus unavailable. The forecast of the geomagnetic conditions is therefore approximate. TODAY'S ESTIMATED ISN : 048, BASED ON 01 STATION.
