| During the last week, solar activity was low. Eleven active sunspot regions (AR4252, AR4254, AR4257, AR4261-4262, AR4266-4271) were on the visible disk without M-class or above flares produced. The F10.7 index decreased from 134 sfu to 118 sfu. The geomagnetic field reached active levels for 3 hours on 25 Oct. Due to the effect of the recurrent coronal hole high speed stream, the solar wind speed reached a peak value of 650 km/s during 28-31 Oct, the geomagnetic field reached minor storm levels for 12 hours, active levels for 27 hours and was at quiet to unsettled levels for the rest of the time. |
