No C flares were observed in the past 24 hours. Solar activity is expected to remain quiet within the next 24 hours, with a slight chance for a C flare. Geomagnetic conditions have been quiet. Active periods are possible on February 3 and the first part of February 4, due to an anticipated coronal hole high speed stream. Afterwards, mainly quiet conditions are expected.
