COMMENT: Solar activity remained at very low levels for the 
last 24 hours and the disc is spotless. The solar wind speed 
gradually decreased from 340 to 300 km/s by 1500UT and then 
showed a relatively rapid rise to 350 km/s by 1800UT. At the 
time of this report (2330UT)the solar wind speed is around 
340 km/s. The north-south component of the interplanetary 
magnetic field (Bz) remained close to the normal value until 
around 1500UT and stayed slightly positive there after. Solar 
activity is expected to remain at very low levels for the next 
3 days. 


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