I. Solar activity
--Current Status
Solar Flux (10.7cm) measured on 13.01.2026 at 23:00 UTC was 117 sfu.
The background X-Ray flux is at the class B7.8 level.
No obviously Earth directed CMEs were observed in available LASCO imagery on January 10-12.
An equatorial coronal hole (CH1338) was Earth facing on January 06-10.
An equatorial coronal hole (CH1339) rotated across the central meridian on January 10.

II. Solar Energetic Particle Events
Protons fluxes are quiet.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit mainted minor storm levels on January 13.

III. Interplanetary and Geomagnetic conditions
The solar wind speed measured by ACE satellite reached the max value 623 Km/s on January 13 at 11:50 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 -5 nT on January 13 at 11:30 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 quiet levels with Kp=2.

IV. 3-day Geomagnetic Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to active levels on January 14 due to the effects of the recurrent coronal hole high speed stream and at quiet to unsettled levels on January 15-16.
