24 hr Summary... Solar activity was at low levels. Region 3256 (S22W62, Fho/beta-gamma) increased in extent and area while producing the largest flare of the period (C2.3 at 28/1547 UTC). Regions 3262 (S19W08, Hsx/alpha) and 3265 (N19W30, Dso/beta) were also productive, producing isolated C-class flares. The other 6 regions were stable and inactive.
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 were mostly at background levels. The IMF was relaxed with total field averaging around 6 nT and Bz undergoing few if any significant southward deviations. Wind speeds were unreliable from DSCOVR given the low density environment, but ACE showed speeds generally at 400 km/s or less. The phi angle was oriented in a negative solar sector towards the Sun.
There is a 15% chance of solar activity, with a 1% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.
