Check NASA's latest images of the sun as seen above. Click again to enlarge the photo. Possible sunspots areas appear to be developing in the recurrent Active Region (former AR2713) now approaching the center of the sun and another one near the sun's Western limb. Stay tuned. It could be ephemeral: here today, gone tomorrow.
From the Royal Observatory at Belgium:
COMMENT: Over the past 24 hours solar activity has been low. No flares have
been recorded. A recurrent unnumbered Active Region at the the East limb
has some potential to produce flaring activity. The greater than 10MeV
proton flux remained at background levels over the past 24 hours. No Earth
directed CMEs were detected. Solar activity is expected to remain low over
the next 24 hours.
The solar wind parameters variations are still disturbed since 12:00 UT (10
July) due to ICME arrival most probably produced by a filament eruption on
July 5. The Earth is still inside a magnetic cloud. The solar wind speed
has increased from 350 till 435 km/s over the past 24hrs. The total
magnetic field strength has fluctuated mainly between 9.3 and 3 nT. Bz
component has fluctuated between -7 and +6 nT. Geomagnetic conditions
ranged between Kp index 1-3 (NOAA) and local K index 1-3 (Dourbes) over the
past 24 hours. Geomagnetic conditions are expected to be at unsettled to
active levels today and tomorrow.
