INFO FROM SIDC - RWC BELGIUM 2014 Jul 31 12:32:30

There are currently 8 sunspot groups present on the solar disk. NOAA 2127
produced most of the flares including a C9 flare peaking at 16:17UT (30
July). Overnight, NOAA 2130 developed a delta spot south of its trailing
portion and started producing flares again around 05:00UT. This culminated
in an M2.5 flare peaking at 11:14UT, the strongest event of the period.
Evaluation of any associated CME is pending the availability of
coronagraphic images. 
Yesterday's filament eruption (NE quadrant) was associated to a CME which
may have an Earth directed component. Based on STEREO and SOHO imagery, its
true speed is estimated to be about 800 km/s and may affect the geomagnetic
field on 2 August. The filaments near the NE-limb and in the SW solar
quadrant are stable.

Further M-class flaring is possible, in particular from NOAA 2127 and
2130.

Solar wind speed varied between 300 and 350 km/s, and Bz between -3 and +4
nT. Quiet geomagnetic conditions were observed. A small equatorial coronal
hole is approaching the central meridian and may influence the geomagnetic
field around 4 August. 

Quiet geomagnetic conditions are expected until 2 August, when the CME
related to the 30 July filament eruption may deliver a glancing blow and
result in active geomagnetic conditions.
