I. Solar activity --Current Status Solar Flux (10.7cm) measured on 14.10.2026 at 23:00 UTC was 123 sfu. The background X-Ray flux is at the class B5.7 level. No obviously Earth directed CMEs were observed in available LASCO imagery on October 11-13. An equatorial coronal hole (CH1404) was Earth facing on October 10-12.
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 613 Km/s on October 14 at 19:16 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 -6.56 nT on October 14 at 20:19 UT during the last 24 hours. The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels during the last 24 hours. The Kp index now is at quiet levels with Kp=1.
IV. 3-day Geomagnetic Activity Forecast The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on October 15-16 and at quiet levels on October 17.
