There appears to be a new active region in the solar Eastern Southern hemisphere that might make an appearance in a day or so, or it may fade away as can be expected during this solar minimum.
Today's GOES X-ray Flux shows a disturbance that may herald this region's appearance. Belgium's Royal Observatory commentary follows.
COMMENT: The Sun is spotless and produced only a few A flares in the past
24 hours, from a new region that is approaching the East limb. The chance
for a C flare in the next 24 hours is estimated at 5%.No Earth-directed Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) were observed in available
coronagraphic imagery.The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at nominal levels in the past 24
hours, and is expected to stay at nominal levels in the next 24 hours.Solar wind speed as registered by DSCOVR further decreased from about 430
to 370 km/s. The Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) was oriented towards
the Sun and its magnitude varied between about 1 and 6 nT. Bz was never
below -5 nT. The solar wind is expected to stay at nominal levels in the
next days.Quiet geomagnetic conditions (K Dourbes between 1 and 2; NOAA Kp between 1
and 2) were registered in the past 24 hours. Quiet to unsettled conditions
(K Dourbes < 4) are expected on July 28, 29 and 30.TODAY'S ESTIMATED ISN : 000, BASED ON 23 STATIONS.
