Solar activity was very low. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.
The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently above average, making retrograde effects moderately increased.
There are no planets in retrograde!
The Solar System at a Glance
Solar wind parameters returned to background levels over the period. Solar wind speed decreased to near 380 km/s, total field ranged from 2-6 nT, and the Bz component was between +5/-2 nT. Phi angle was oriented in a negative solar sector for most of the period.
There is a 10% chance of solar activity, with a 1% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.
