Per Belgium's Royal Observatory, a new active region is at the Eastern Limb of the sun.
COMMENT: Solar activity was very low, with X-ray flux remaining below B
level.
A new region is rotating onto the disk, but at present chances for C flares
are still judged to be very low.No Earth directed CMEs have been observed in coronagraph data.
Proton flux levels were at background values and are expected to remain so.
A small negative polarity coronal hole in the southern hemisphere has
passed the central meridian yesterday. It may become geoeffective from late
June 12.Solar wind conditions have been nominal with solar wind speed further
decreasing to below 300 km/s. Total magnetic field was 1-4 nT with the Bz
component mainly negative but not reaching below -3nT. The magnetic field
phi angle was initially variable but now clearly indicates a negative
sector connection.
Solar wind conditions may become slightly disturbed from late June 12 due a
small coronal hole in the Southern hemisphere.Geomagnetic conditions were quiet (local K Dourbes 1-2, and NOAA Kp 1) and
are initially expected to remain so. Later unsettled conditions may be
experienced.
TODAY'S ESTIMATED ISN : 000, BASED ON 14 STATIONS.
Now, we can see this active region with the pictures from NOAA/NASA at The Sun Now.
Over the past three days, NOAA's GOES-X-ray flux shows increased solar activity heralding the approach of a new active region.
Thus, on June 9, 2018, solar activity was in the low A0, but a day later on June 10, solar activity had increased to the low A1 to A2 range. Now, however, we are in the process of experiencing a Solar Class B flare, the first one since June 6, 2018. Follow the red line.
