Geomagnetic conditions are expected to reach minor storm levels during the next 36hrs due to the fast stream from a recurrent coronal hole. During the past rotation Kp=5 was reached for a single period; however the hole is far more pronounced on the present rotation than it was in Jan or Feb (no EIT data during the Mar transit) so we cautiously expected the effects to be at least as pronounced as they were 27 days ago.Solar activity is expected to remain active, with further M-class events expected from NOAA AR 0865 (Catania 19) while 0867 (21) also has the potential for M-class events. No significant CMEs were observed in association with either of yesterday's M flares from 0865 or the C9.7 flare from 0867 this morning.
