COMMENT: A second sunspot group has appeared at the east limb: Catania sunspot
group 04 (NOAA 0719) follows closely behind Catania 03 (NOAA 0718). It
immediately took over the role of the dominant sunspot group and already
generated an M2.4 flare. Both sunspot groups are likely to generate C-flares,
with a small chance for an M-flare.
Geomagnetic conditions have been quiet for the past 24 hours. The solar wind
speed is still slightly elevated, but since the IMF is strongly northwards,
quiet conditions are expected to continue.
