A halo coronal mass ejection (CME) was detected in LASCO/C2 coronagraph images at 06:12 UTC on September 5. The projected speed is estimated to be about 600-700 km/s. This eruption is believed to be directed towards the far side of the Sun, as no source region could be identified on the visible disk.

A halo or partial-halo CME was detected with the following characteristics: t0 | dt0| pa | da | v | dv | minv| maxv| 2024-09-05T06:48:07.420 | 3.0 | 95 | 340 | 1041 | 420 | 297 | 1953 t0: onset time, earliest indication of liftoff dt0: duration of liftoff (hours) pa: principal angle, counterclockwise from North (degrees) da: angular width of the CME (degrees), v: median velocity (km/s) dv: variation (1 sigma) of velocity over the width of the CME mindv: lowest velocity detected within the CME maxdv: highest velocity detected within the CME

Solar flaring activity was at moderate levels over the past 24 hours, with several C-class flares and one M-class flare. The strongest was an M1.7 flare from NOAA active region (AR) 3813, which peaked at 07:46 UTC on September 7. The most magnetically complex active regions currently on the disk are NOAA AR 3806 (beta-gamma-delta), AR 3813 (beta-gamma), and the newly emerged AR 3815 (beta-gamma). Solar flaring activity is expected to remain at moderate levels over the next 24 hours, with the possibility of an M-class flare and a chance for isolated X-class flares. No Earth-directed coronal mass ejection (CME) was detected in LASCO/C2 coronagraph images over the past 24 hours. The greater than 10 MeV GOES proton flux has now returned to background levels. It is expected to remain at background levels over the next 24 hours. However, there is a small chance of exceeding the threshold if high-energy flares or eruptions occur. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux, as measured by the GOES-16 satellite, remained below the threshold over the past 24 hours and is expected to remain so in the coming 24 hours. The 24-hour electron fluence is currently at normal levels and is expected to stay that way over the next 24 hours.

Geomagnetic conditions were quiet both globally and locally, with some periods of unsettled conditions (NOAA Kp and K-Dourbes indices of 1-3). Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected in the next 24 hours, with possible active periods in response to the anticipated enhancement of solar wind conditions. The solar wind parameters reflect a slow wind speed regime. The total interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) ranged between 5 nT and 8 nT, slightly increasing over the last 6 hours and reaching 10 nT. The southward IMF component (Bz) fluctuated between -7 nT and +9 nT. The solar wind speed remained around 335-430 km/s. Solar wind conditions are expected to become more enhanced in the next 24 hours due to the September 3 coronal mass ejection, combined with the high-speed stream from the small negative polarity coronal hole that crossed the central meridian on September 3.
