1. Solar activity
Solar activity was decreasing stable during the past 24 hours.
Solar Flux (10.7 cm) measured on 08.03.2022 at 20:00 UTC was 115 sfu.
The background X-Ray flux is at the class Β7.6 level.
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels on Mar. 08.
A faint partial halo was seen in SOHO LASCO C2 (later in C3) on Mar. 07. The CME is expecting to reach Earth according EAM predictions on Mar. 10 between 12:11 and 01:48.
No obviously Earth directed CMEs were observed in available LASCO imagery 05-06.
The Kp index now is at quiet levels with Kp=1.

2. Solar Wind Geomagnetic Activity
Solar Wind speed from ACE: 379 km/s.
Solar Wind speed from STEREO A: 350 km/s.
Solar Wind speed from STEREO B: - km/s.
The southward component Bz is: 1 nT south

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 Mar. 09 and at unsettled to active levels on Mar. 10-11 due to CME effects.
