As sunlight and warmth increase in the spring and summer, the North Sea starts to gain swirls and tendrils of color.

Solar Activity
Solar activity was moderate this period with four R1 (Minor) events observed. Growth was noted in Regions 3871 (S09W76, Dai/beta-gamma) and 3881 (S09E14, Dai/beta), while the remaining regions were mostly stable. No Earth-directed CMEs were detected in available data.
Solar Wind
Solar wind parameters were enhanced late in the period with sustained negative Bz. Total field strength ranged 6-12 nT and the Bz component varied +8/-12 nT. Solar wind speeds ranged from 400-500 km/s.
Energetic Particle
The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at elevated levels but remained below the S-scale event threshold. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal and moderate levels. .Forecast... There is a chance for the greater than 10 MeV proton flux to reach S1 (Minor) levels over 02-04 Nov. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to be at normal to moderate levels through 04 Nov.
