Solar Activity
Solar activity decayed to low levels. Region 3654 (S07W36, Ekc/beta-gamma-delta) produced c-class events this period, the largest a C8.3/Sf flare at 28/2020 UTC. Region 3654 exhibited moderate development in the intermediate and trailer spots, and developed a delta magnetic configuration. The remaining regions were either stable or in decay. No Earth-directed CMEs were detected in available imagery.
Solar Wind
The solar wind environment was at mostly steady levels this period due to positive polarity CH HSS influences. Total field strength reached a peak of 8 nT and the Bz component was varied between +/-5 nT. Solar wind speeds were mostly in the mid 400s. The phi angle was in a predominantly positive orientation through the period.
Energetic Particle
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal to moderate levels and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux was steady at background levels.
