Solar Activity
Solar activity reached low levels this period. The largest flare of the period was an C9.5/Sf at 27/0805 UTC from Region 3932 (S17W15, Ekc/beta-gamma-delta). Region 3938 (N21E47, Eac/beta-gamma-delta) also produced a C9.0/1f flare at 27/0050. Regions 3928 (S14W42, Eac/beta-gamma), and 3936 (N14W08, Ekc/beta) experienced substantial growth. The remaining regions were either stable or in decay.
Solar Wind
Solar wind parameters were at nominal levels. Total field was at 3-5 nT, with Bz varying -2 and 3 nT. Solar wind speeds continued to decrease to ~330 km/s. The phi angle switched from mostly negative to variable after 27/0400 UTC.
Energetic Particle
The greater than 10 MeV proton flux remained elevated above background but well below the S1 threshold. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached moderate levels.
