INFO FROM SIDC - RWC BELGIUM 2015 Jan 31 12:23:20

Flaring activity declined with only a few low-level C-class flares, and the
strongest event produced by NOAA 2277 at the beginning of the period (M2.4
peaking at 12:16UT). NOAA 2268 simplified significantly. NOAA 2277 kept
most of its mixed magnetic polarity portions. No earth-directed CMEs have
been observed. The x-ray background flux has decreased to the B6-level. The
larger than 10 MeV flux is still enhanced, but started a gradual decline
after 21:00UT.

There remains a chance on an isolated M-class flare.

Solar wind speed ranged mostly between 390 and 450 km/s. Bz varied between
-7 and +7 nT, with a sustained negative period from 16:00 till 20:00UT.
Unsettled to locally active (K Dourbes = 4) conditions were recorded
between 18:00 and 24:00UT. The solar wind is expected to be further
disturbed with the arrival of the HSS of the extension of a southern polar
CH late on 31 January or on 01 February.

The geomagnetic field is expected to range from quiet to active conditions,
with a possibility of a minor geomagnetic storm.
