1. Solar activity
Solar activity was almost stable during the past 24 hours.
Solar Flux (10.7 cm) measured on 07.10.2016 at 20:00 UTC was 104 sfu.
The background X-Ray flux is at the class B2 level.
The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels on October 7.
No obviously Earth directed CMEs were observed in available LASCO imagery.
The Kp index now is at almost quiet levels with Kp=2.

2. Solar Wind Geomagnetic Activity
Solar Wind speed from ACE: 445 km/s.
Solar Wind speed from STEREO A: 560 km/s.
Solar Wind speed from STEREO B: --- km/s.
The southward component Bz is: 1 nT north.

3. Solar Energetic Particle Events
Protons and electrons are quiet.

4. Coronal Holes
No obvious coronal holes are currently in the visible solar disk.

5. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels on October 8-10. Unsettled intervals are possible on October 8.
