Therefore, we expect a low solar activity with only a slight chance of C flare. The geomagnetic activity rose temporarily to active levels in the last few hours due to a new rise of the solar wind speed, associated with a negative Bz, that was not expected. Now, the speed has stabilized at 550km/s, with the Bz component fluctuating between + and - 10 nT. Although, the geomagnetic field is now back to unsettled levels, we predict unsettled to active conditions for the next 24 hours, then followed by a decay to quiet to unsettled conditions.
