SIDC URSIGRAM 30808 SIDC SOLAR BULLETIN 08 Aug 2003, 1230UT SIDC FORECAST (valid from 1230UT, 08 Aug 2003 until 10 Aug 2003) SOLAR FLARES : Eruptive (C-class flares expected, probability >= 50%) GEOMAGNETISM : Minor geomagnetic storm expected (A>=30 or K=5) SOLAR PROTONS : Quiet PREDICTIONS FOR 08 Aug 2003 10CM FLUX: 139 / AP: 040 PREDICTIONS FOR 09 Aug 2003 10CM FLUX: 141 / AP: 031 PREDICTIONS FOR 10 Aug 2003 10CM FLUX: 141 / AP: 028 COMMENT: The solar wind has increased strongly between 05:00 and 07:00UT this morning, reaching a value of nearly 800km/s, indicating that the earth is still under the influence of the equatorial extension of the coronal hole that is now seen covering a large fraction of the northern solar hemisphere. Although the interplanetary magnetic field is mainly pointing northwards, geomagnetic conditions have reached minor geomagnetic storm level. These conditions are expected to continue for the next 24 hours, while thereafter the coronal hole influence is thought to come to an end.
