Several periods of K=4 were recorded at Dourbes and Niemegk along with Kp=4 yesterday. The solar wind speed is currently steady at ~600km/s and whilst the IMF in relatively weak and mainly northwards, only modest intervals of negative Bz are need for further disturbances. Solar activity is expected to be mainly quiet with potential for eruptive conditions, with NOAA AR 0956 capable of yielding C-class events, and possibly larger.
