Due to its small size and weak magnetic field, as well as to the low X-ray background flux (below the A level), we do not expect it to produce a significant flaring activity in the coming hours. The interplanetary magnetic field reached 13 nT this morning. This may be an indication of the arrival of the interaction region between the slow and faster solar wind streams. The faster stream is produced by a low-latitude coronal hole (currently situated near the west limb). Active geomagnetic conditions are possible. TODAY'S ESTIMATED ISN : 007, BASED ON 05 STATIONS.
