Solar activity was very low. Region 2758 (S30E12, Hrx/alpha) decayed further and remained inactive. 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 indicative of a slow regime. Total IMF strength ranged from 2 to 7 nT and the Bz component underwent mainly weak deviations. Solar wind speed was primarily 325-375 km/s. The phi angle was positive until 09/1000 UTC, when it became more variable between sectors.
There is a 30% chance of solar activity, with a 10% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.
