INFO FROM SIDC - RWC BELGIUM 2017 Aug 19 12:30UTC

NOAA AR 2671 has again increased in size and produced C-class flares, there
were four in past 24 h. The strongest one did not originate in NOAA AR 2671
though, it was a C4.4 peaking at 20:02 UT on August 18 and came from a
region rotating into view from the east limb. A CME erupted in the vicinity
of this region (seen at 14:24 UT on August 18 by LASCO-C2), directed to the
east and will not be geoeffective. C-class (and possibly M-class) flares
can be expected

No Earth directed Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) have been detected. Solar
protons have remained at background levels over the past 24 hours.

The Earth is still inside a high speed solar wind stream, the speed is
around 680 km/s with interplanetary magnetic field intensity of 7 nT. As a
consequence, Kp reached 5 and the local K went up to 4. More disturbed
conditions can be expected in the next 24 h.
