24 hr Summary... Solar activity was at low levels. Low-level C-class activity was observed from Regions 3256 (S23W45, Eho/beta-gamma), 3259 (S21W31, Bxo/beta) and 3262 (S19E17, Hsx/alpha). Regions 3256 and 3259 were little changed over the period. Region 3262 exhibited some minor growth. The remaining regions were either stable or in gradual decay. New Region 3265 (N21W04, Bxo/beta) was numbered this period. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.
The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently above average, making retrograde effects moderately increased.
Solar wind parameters suggested the continued influence of a negative polarity CH HSS. Total magnetic field strength was between 6-8 nT for most of the day. Bz briefly reached as far south as -5 nT. Solar wind speeds generally varied between ~500-600 km/s with some peaks approaching 700 km/s. Phi angle was in a predominately negative orientation.
There is a 20% chance of solar activity, with a 10% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.
