Weekly Bulletin on Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
                 Highlights on 15 - 20.10.2018,
                  Forecast on 21 - 29.10.2018,
     Carrington Rotation 2209, 2210(29,6.09; 26,10.2018)
            Earth out of ecliptic (+6.25 - +6.01) deg. 
             (S17 - N28 is zone of geoeffectiveness)

THE SUNSPOT-FORMING ACTIVITY OF THE SUN HAVE REMAINED AT THE VERY 
LOW. 15-17.10 ON THE SUN OBSERVED SUNSPOT (SPOTLESS - 168 DAYS IN 
THIS YEAR). ESTIMATED, MOST LIKELY WEEKLY AVERAGE VALUE OF THE RE-
LATIVE SUNSPOT NUMBER IN THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM (old) FOR PERI-
OD W=005+8/-5 (Wn= 008+13/-8). ONE SMALL SUNSPOT GROUP ON VISIBLE 
SOLAR DISC HAVE BEEN OBSERVED. 

NEXT WEEK THE LEVEL OF SUNSPOT ACTIVITY WILL STAY AT A VERY LOW LE-
VEL. LIKELY WEEKLY AVERAGE VALUE OF THE RELATIVE SUNSPOT NUMBER IN 
THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM (old) FOR THE NEXT WEEK IS W= 010+10/-10. 

 THE FLARE ACTIVITY WAS ON THE VERY LOW LEVEL. TWO SOLAR FILAMENTS 
AND TWO CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS HAVE BEEN OBSERVED.

ON THE VISIBLE SOLAR DISK THE FOLLOWING CORONAL HOLES WERE OBSERVED:

Earth's environment. G(0-5)-geoeffectivity in last solar rotation on
the middle latitudes. A-active geomagnetic condition.

 AFTER 13.10/13 UT EARTH IS IN "-" SECTOR OF THE INTERPLANETARY MAGNE-
TIC FIELD,  BUT THE SIGN OF THE SECTOR  IS VERY UNSTABLE. NEXT STABLE 
SECTOR BOUNDARY  -/+ THE EARTH MUST PASS 28.10.

 THE GREATER THAN 2 MeV ELECTRON FLUX AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT BEGUN
16.10/1610 UT AND 16 - 20.10 HAVE BEEN OBSERVED.  
 
 NEXT WEEK THE GREATER THAN 2 MeV ELECTRON FLUX AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS 
ORBIT IS EXPECTED 21-29.10.

 GEOMAGNETIC CONDITION WAS QUITE AND UNSETTLED

 THE NEXT WEEK IS MOST PROBABILITY OF QUIET AND UNSETTLED GEOMAGNE-
TIC CONDITION.
