Good Morning, 0bservers!
Wow, the DSCOVR charts are still severely buggered up, more so than yesterday. The ACE RTSW chart wasn't much help either, with a huge gap in the readings since yesterday (see charts below). However, we DO know that the current solar wind speed is very calm, in the 270-280 KPS range. The KP-Index remains low, with mainly KP-1 readings yesterday and early this morning. The X-Ray Flux has calmed back down to the Class A range, and the GOES Electron Flux readings look like they're starting to stabilize below the SWPC warning threshold. A goodly amount of bright spots on the solar surface, with the last of the Northern spots turning toward the lim while two new spots have appeared in the South. Some small coronal holes are passing along the equatorial region, but we're seeing a larger hole preceding a Southern bright spot, and of course the Northern polar hole still dominates. We saw a Mag 5.0 in the South Georgia Island region, a Mag 5.9 off the coast of Tanzania, a Mag 5.0 off Severo-Kuril'sk Russia, a Mag 5.5 55 miles SW of Basco Philippines, and a Mag 5.3 in Pakistan.
Here are the charts, just so you can see what we're dealing with...
