Mercury next enters retrograde in 98 days.
Solar activity was very low and Region 2758 (S30W01) decayed to plage early in the 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 normal.
There are no planets in retrograde!
The Solar System at a Glance
Solar wind parameters were still indicative of a slow regime. Total IMF strength ranged from 1 to 4 nT and the Bz component underwent only weak deviations. Solar wind speed was primarily ~325 km/s and the phi angle was predominantly negative.
There is a 25% chance of solar activity, with a 5% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.
