The only sunspot group has decayed with a corresponding decline of both the GOES X-ray (A3 level) and F10.7cm radio fluxes. The solar wind keeps its high speed, now at 650km/s. Although the Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field is near 0, this is enough to keep the Earth magnetic field unsettled to active (even minor storm at high latitudes). Those conditions should continue without much change over the 2 coming days. TODAY'S ESTIMATED ISN : 012, BASED ON 03 STATIONS.
