Halley Bay Mag:
it's very very quiet... perhaps they're hunting rabbits. 

GOES Electron Flux:
Have continued to be at normal levels. 

GOES Proton Flux:
Has stayed at background levels for the lat 24 hours + 

Space Weather from Spaceweather.com and SWPC.noaa.gov

Solar wind speed is 352.9 km/s
Solar proton density 8,3 cm^(-3) 

60 sunspots are now visible. NOAA has the likelihood of a M class flare at 5% and a 1% chance of an X class flare. The sun is incredibly quiet.

Kp is quiet kp = 1 with a 24 max of kp = 1
Bz = 1.0 nT south
Btotal = 4.6 nT 

There is a coronal hole in the southern hemisphere which is now a little more than half way across the surface of the sun. The HSS would be expected to reach us between the 25th and the 27th if this hole is geo-effective. NOAA gives it a 25 - 30% chance of creating a geomagnetic storm. 


From Kyoto:
AE: very quiet, a few small blips. 

Dst: very quiet again.
