# SIDC Weekly bulletin on Solar and Geomagnetic activity             #
#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
WEEK 932 from 2018 Nov 05
SOLAR ACTIVITY
---------------
Over the past week solar activity has been low. Catania sunspot group 1
emerged on November 8 without producing any significant flaring activity.
No Earth directed Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) have been detected. The
greater than 10MeV proton flux remained at background levels. The greater
than 10 MeV proton flux was at nominal levels. One coronal hole (CH)
transited the central meridian: negative polarity CH around November 7.
GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY
---------------------
The solar wind speed has fluctuated between 380 and 630 km/s over the past
week. The total magnetic field strength has fluctuated mainly around 6 nT
with two periods of elevated activity around November 4 (7 nT) and around
November 10 (13 nT). The Bz component fluctuated accordingly, ranging
between -11 and +10 nT.  Two episodes of enhanced Bz and solar wind speed
were due to a HSS from a positive polarity coronal hole at the beginning of
the week, and from the negative 
polarity coronal hole in the middle of the week. Unsettled to active
geomagnetic conditions were observed for most of the period, with few
intervals of K = 5 (moderate geomagnetic storm) and a single interval Kp =
6 (major geomagnetic storm) recorded by NOAA on November 4 under the
influence of the positive polarity CH HSS.
