# DAILY BULLETIN ON SOLAR AND GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY from the SIDC (RWC-Belgium) #

SIDC URSIGRAM 40807
SIDC SOLAR BULLETIN 07 Aug 2004, 1134UT
SIDC FORECAST (valid from 1230UT, 07 Aug 2004 until 09 Aug 2004)
SOLAR FLARES : Quiet conditions (<50% probability of C-class flares)
GEOMAGNETISM : Active conditions expected (A>=20 or K=4)
SOLAR PROTONS : Quiet
PREDICTIONS FOR 07 Aug 2004 10CM FLUX: 095 / AP: 018
PREDICTIONS FOR 08 Aug 2004 10CM FLUX: 101 / AP: 017
PREDICTIONS FOR 09 Aug 2004 10CM FLUX: 106 / AP: 007
COMMENT: Solar activity continues at very low level. Only small B-flares were
observed in the past 24 hours. Catania sunspot group 87 (NOAA 0655) is still the
largest group visible, but is decaying. No flares are expected from this group.
At the eastern limb, we now see three small sunspot groups. The biggest one of
these - and the most likely to produce flares - is Catania sunspot group 90
(NOAA 0656). However, so far all groups only show small-scale activity and there
is only a slight chance for a C-class flare.
The solar wind speed has risen from 340 km/s to 400 km/s in the past three
hours, and the IMF is pointing mostly southwards since midnight (UT), with short
periods of values below -10nT. These conditions, which are probably caused by a
small coronal hole, are expected to give rise to active geomagnetic conditions
(K=4), with a small chance for a minor storm.
