1. Solar activity
Solar activity was almost stable during the past 24 hours.
Solar Flux (10.7) measured on 07.11.2014 at 2300UTC was 132 sfu.
The background x-ray flux is at the class B7 level.
The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels on November 7.
The AR 2205 unleashed a X1.6 class solar flare on November 7th at 17:26 U.T..
A partial halo CME was observed in association with the X flare.
GOES Hp is at quiet to unsettled levels now with Kp=1.

2. Solar Wind Geomagnetic Activity
ACE: Solar wind speed now is 490 km/s.
STEREO A: Solar wind speed now is 390 km/s.
STEREO B: N/A.
The southward component of Bz now is 3.6  nT north.

3. Solar Energetic Particle Events
None. Protons and electrons are quiet.

4. Coronal Holes
No obvious coronal holes are currently in or near Earth facing positions.

5. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly quiet on November 8-9.
Possible minor storm geomagnetic conditions on November 10-11 as a result of the partial Halo CME after the X flare.
