INFO FROM SIDC - RWC BELGIUM 2017 Sep 20 12:53UTC

Over the past 24 hours the solar activity was very low, only few B-class
flares have been recorded. Catania sunspot group 55 (NOAA active region
2680) is unlikely to produce any flaring activity. The returning region
(Catania sunspot group 49 / NOAA active region 2676) is currently on the
East solar limb and is the source region of the B-class flares. We expect
the solar activity to increase with B-class flares and a small probability
of C-class flare coming from this returning region.

No Earth directed CMEs have been observed and the solar protons remained at
background level in the past 24 hours.

The Earth is currently inside a slow (around 500 km/s) solar wind flow. The
interplanetary magnetic field magnitude remained below 5 nT and the Bz
component fluctuating between -4 and 4 nT. The solar wind is expected
maintain its nominal conditions over the next days. 

Geomagnetic conditions were quiet to unsettled (local K Dourbes 1-3, NOAA
Kp 2-3) and are expected to remain quiet over the next days.
