| During the last week, solar activity remained at a low level. Eleven active sunspot regions (AR4533-AR4539, AR4542-AR4545) were on the visible disk without any M-class or above flares produced. No Solar Proton Event occurred. The F10.7 index decreased from 105 sfu to 92 sfu. Due to the effect of the recurrent coronal hole high speed stream, the solar wind speed reached a peak of about 550 km/s and the geomagnetic field was at active levels for 24 hours on 25-27 Sep. It was quiet to unsettled for the rest of time. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached minor storm levels on 27-30 Sep. |
