The Sun Today

INFO FROM SIDC - RWC BELGIUM 2016 Nov 04 13:17UTC

Solar activity was very low. No flares, no Earth-directed CMEs were
observed. There are 2 stable filaments on the visible side of the solar
disk. Solar proton flux intensity is expected to lie within the background
levels. Quiet flaring conditions are expected to continue, with a small
chance of an isolated B-class flare.
Solar wind parameters variations were at the background level. Solar wind
speed decreased from about 420 km/s to its current values near 370 km/s.
Total Interplanetary Magnetic field strength varied between 3 and 7 nT,
while Bz fluctuated between -3 and +3 nT and was mostly positive. Solar
wind parameters are expected to remain at near background levels for the
next 2 days. Geomagnetic conditions were active to quiet during this period
(K Dourbes between 5 and 1; NOAA Kp between 4 and 1). The geomagnetic field
is expected most probably to continue at quiet levels today 04-Nov-2016 and
tomorrow 05-Nov-2016.
