A returning active region currently behind the eastern limb (NOAA AR 1082 during the previous rotation) produced several B-class flares in less than 24 hours. A C-flare is thus possible as this active region will soon come from behind the solar limb. The Earth is currently inside the slow (330 km/s) solar wind flow with weak (2-3 nT) interplanetary magnetic field magnitude. We expect quiet geomagnetic conditions in the next 48 hours. TODAY'S ESTIMATED ISN : 007, BASED ON 12 STATIONS.
