Solar Activity
Solar activity was at low levels. Region 4123 (S28W37, Dro/beta) exhibited slight growth as it underwent consolidation in its leading spots. Region 4126 (N07W69, Dro/beta) redeveloped as it gained rudimentary penumbra. Region 4129 (N02E24, Cri/beta-gamma) produced a C1.1 flare at 01/0002 UTC, which was the largest event of the period. Regions 4131 (N08W15, Dro/beta) and 4132 (S18E57, Hrx/alpha) were numbered this period while Region 4130 (S12, L=141) decayed to plage. Additionally, new spots were noted near S17W64 that remained unnumbered. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.
Solar Wind
Solar wind parameters reflected weakening negative polarity CH HSS influence. Total IMF strength ranged 3-6 nT and the Bz component was +/-6 nT. Solar wind speeds gradually decreased from approximately 550 km/s to near 450 km/s. Phi was predominantly negative while undertaking several brief excursions into the positive solar sector.
Energetic Particle
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached high levels with a peak flux of 3,570 pfu observed at 01/0055 UTC. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at background levels.
