COMMENT: Solar activity remains very quiet. The only sunspot group currently
visible is the decaying remnant of Catania 98. EIT images show a new group
appearing at the east limb, but the activity seems to be small. We therefore
expect quiet conditions on the sun.

Geomagnetic conditions are currently quiet. The solar wind speed is 500km/s 
but
shows an increasing trend. Also the IMF field is increasing. This may mark 
the
arrival of ICME material (no shocks have been observed from the various halo
CMEs from Catania 98). A large prominence erupted from the eastern 
hemisphere on
Jan 05 and generated a halo CME with a speed range 500-1000km/s. This may 
impact
the earth tomorrow.
