I. Solar activity
--Current Status
Solar Flux (10.7cm) measured on 12.03.2026 at 23:00 UTC was 121 sfu.
The background X-Ray flux is at the class C1.5 level.
No obviously Earth directed CMEs were observed in available LASCO imagery on March 10-12.
An equatorial coronal hole (CH1349) will likely rotate across the central meridian on March 11-14.
II. Solar Energetic Particle Events
Protons and electrons fluxes are quiet.
III. Interplanetary and Geomagnetic conditions
The solar wind speed measured by ACE satellite reached the max value 460 Km/s on March 12 at 13:50 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 -8 nT on March 13 at 08:05 UT during the last 24 hours.
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to active levels during the last 24 hours.
The Kp index now is at active levels with Kp=4.
IV. 3-day Geomagnetic Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to minor storm (G1) levels on March 13-15 due to effects from CH1349.
