I. Solar activity--Current StatusSolar Flux (10.7cm) measured on 12.09.2026 at 23:00 UTC was 109 sfu.
The background X-Ray flux is at the class B3.09 level.
No obviously Earth directed CMEs were observed in available LASCO imagery on September 09-11.
A coronal hole (CH1398) at southern hemisphere will be Earth facing on September 10-14.
A coronal hole (CH1399) at northern hemisphere will rotate across the central meridian on September 12-14.
II. Solar Energetic Particle EventsProtons and electrons fluxes are quiet.
III. Interplanetary and Geomagnetic conditionsThe solar wind speed measured by ACE satellite reached the max value 469 Km/s on September 13 at 05:38 UT during the last 24 hours.
The solar wind speed from STEREO A was detected 400 Km/s during the last 24 hours.
The vertical component of IMF Bz reached the max value -5.86 nT on September 13 at 04:20 UT during the last 24 hours.
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels during the last 24 hours.
The Kp index now is at unsettled levels with Kp=3.
IV. 3-day Geomagnetic Activity ForecastThe geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on September 13 and at quiet to active levels on September 14-15.
