INFO FROM SIDC - RWC BELGIUM 2014 Mar 07 12:37:17

Over the last 24 hours, no C-class flares were observed, with x-ray
background around B6-level. There are currently 9 sunspot regions on the
visible solar disk. Most sunspot groups are stable or decaying. Eruptive
flaring conditions are expected, with most chance on a C-flare from sunspot
group NOAA 1996.

A CME was observed by LASCO/C2 on 6 March at 13:36UT, and was associated to
a filament eruption in the southeast solar quadrant. Current imagery
indicates it did not have an Earth directed component.

Over the last 24 hours, solar wind speed has gradually decreased to values
near 410 km/s, with Bz varying between -4nT and +4nT. Geomagnetic
conditions have been quiet and are expected to remain so until the arrival
of a high speed wind stream from the coronal hole that passed the central
meridian early on 5 March. This may result in episodes of active
geomagnetic conditions starting 8-9 March.
