COMMENT: Very low solar activity over the last 24 hours. The 
visible solar disk is spotless. The solar wind speed has decreased 
to normal levels (around 400km/s) and is expected to remain so 
for the next three days. The interplanetary magnetic field,
north/south component Bz, was mostly northward. STEREO BEHIND 
spacecraft does not show any significant southward oriented Bz. 


Solar Activity levels are expained in the IPS Solar Terrestrial Glossary.
