In the last 24 hours Solar activity remained at low levels, but increased in overallactivity. Region 4366 continued to growin size and complexity, and was the main flare producer. It addedmultiple mid to and upper-level C-flares, including a C7.8 flare at 31 to 1920 utc, the largest of the period. Regions 4357 and 4363 each added a couple of low-level C-flaresearly in the period but were later inactive. New Regions 4367 and 4368 were numbered as they rotatedonto the visible disk from the East limb. All other regions wereunchanged or continued to decay. A C6.0 flare originating from beyond the western limb occurred at 31 to 0512 utc. A subsequent coronal mass ejection was then first observed in LASCO C2 coronagraph imagery at approximately 31 to 0512 utc. This event is notexpected to have an Earth-directed component given its source location. No Earth-directed coronal mass ejections were observed. Solar activity is expected to be low with a chance for M-class flares through 03 febuary.

In the last 24 hours The greater than 2 mega electron volt electron flux reached high levels with a peakflux of 11, 099 pfu observed at 31 to 1630 utc. The greater than 10 mega electron voltproton flux was below the S1 threshold. The greater than 2 mega electron volt electron flux is expected to continue at moderateto high levels, and the greater than 10 mega electron volt proton flux is expected toremain at or near background levels, through 03 febuary.

In the last 24 hours Solar wind parameters continued to reflect diminishing negative polaritycoronal hole high speed stream conditions. Total field averaged 3 to 4 nano tesla, the Bz component wasnear neutral, and solar wind speed decreased from ~515 kilometers per second to justaround 390 kilometers per second by the end of the period. Phi was in a negativeorientation. Background conditions are expected to continue through 03 febuary.

In the last 24 hours Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet levels. Mostly quiet conditions are expected to prevail through 03 febuary as anambient solar wind regime persists.
