Good Morning all



Region 1313 which is the most interesting group visible increased in size yesterday

Further C class and just the chance of a M class solar flare is possible over the coming days

A large 'active region' is about two days away before rotating into view over the north-east limb

and some info from SIDC Belgium:

A small shock passed ACE between 5 and 6 UT this morning. The shock is possibly linked with the CME of Oct 04. The Earth magnetic field didn't respond on the passage of the shock. Unsettled conditions from tomorrow in case we pass through the fast solar wind emanating from the northern coronal hole. This coronal hole is however small. Some minor C-flares occurred. We expect this trend to continue.
