Solar Activity
Solar flare activity has been at low levels with only C-Class flares occurring since the start of the UTC day. Region 3906 (S16E19, Ekc/beta-gamma-delta) continues to show a complex magnetic field with a delta in its trailer. Its interior spots have consolidated towards the leader which has diminished in size. Region 3905 (S09E12, Eki/beta-gamma) has seen growth in the spot complex near the trailer where the delta comes and goes. The two aforementioned regions have been the primary flare producers over the period. The other region of note is Region 3907 (S22W24, Dao/beta-delta) which is displaying a complex trailing spot in a rather simple region. It has been inactive but the growth over a short period suggests it may not stay quiet. Region 3910 (N16E69, Dko/beta) continues to come into better view with a small leader and a large trailer, the mag field is to obscured by foreshortening to have confidence beyond a beta classification. A new region emerged starting around 26/1000 UTC and has been numbered Region 3911 (S14W33, Cro/beta). All other regions have been either stable or in decay.
Solar Wind
Solar wind parameters continue to reflect weak, negative polarity CH HSS influence. Total field was 4-7 nT with the Bz component remaining positive (north) through much of the period and remaining between +/-6 nT. Solar wind speeds averaged around 370 km/s. The phi angle remained in the negative (towards the Sun) orientation through much of the period.
Energetic Particle
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal to moderate levels. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux returned to background levels.
