Activity remains subdued this week with only pockets of fast solar wind to bring sporadic aurora to high latitudes, nothing like the G3 show we saw a couple of weeks ago. Aurora photographers at high latitudes could get some views through the early part of the week, but aurora chasers at mid-latitudes will need to watch from the sidelines. Amateur radio operators must also wait though a lull in solar flux, which has dipped again into the high 70s. Luckily, these conditions will change soon as a returning bright region (old M-flare player, region 2891) rotates into view again in about three days. This means radio propagation on Earth's dayside will begin improving by the end of the week. As for GPS users, the lack in activity and the dip in solar flux actually serves to aid GPS reception, so enjoy the good conditions all over the globe this week.
