There remains a small chance for an M-class flare from the same region. Geomagnetic activity is expected to reach at least active condition levels, with possible isolated periods of minor storm conditions. ACE measurements show that the Earth is within the high-speed stream from a coronal hole, with solar wind speeds of about 620 km/s, and fluctuating Bz components. Minor storm conditions are observed from estimated Kp indices on April 29th from 0UT onward. Note that no K indices measurements are avaible from the Dourbes station since April 28th, 15UT. TODAY'S ESTIMATED ISN : 021, BASED ON 07 STATIONS.
