Solar Activity
Solar activity reached high levels with an impulsive M5.8 flare at 06/0850 UTC from new Region 3887 (N16W62, Dai/beta). Region 3887 developed quickly over the past 24 hours, but maintains a simple beta magnetic configuration. M-class flaring was also observed from Region 3883 (S06E14, Ekc/beta-gamma-delta) and from beyond the SW limb, possibly Region 3872 (S17, L=186). Region 3883 continued to show growth and development, particularly within its intermediate spots. Slight growth was observed in the southern spots of Region 3886 (S08E42, Eki/beta-gamma). New Region 3888 (N04W44, Bxo/beta) was also numbered. No Earth directed CMEs were observed in available satellite imagery.
Solar Wind
Solar wind parameters continued to be mildly enhanced over the period. Total field ranged from 4-9 nT while the Bz component was between +/-8 nT. Solar wind speed ranged from 400-490 km/s. Phi angle was mostly positive.
Energetic Particle
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux has been at normal to moderate levels. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux has remained at background levels.
