# SIDC Weekly bulletin on Solar and Geomagnetic activity            #
#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
WEEK 528 from 2011 Feb 07 

SOLAR CONDITIONS
---------------

Solar activity was dominated in the beginning of the period by NOAA AR 11153 which strengthened into
a beta-gamma group  while rotating out of field over the solar west limb. The region triggered a handful
of C-flares, and on Feb 12 an M1.9 flare.

More firework originated in NOAA AR 11159, from Feb 12 in the C-class and on Feb 13, 17:38 a M6.6
flare.

GEOMAGNETIC CONDITIONS
----------------------

The period was characterized by a moderate solar wind speed between 350 km/s and 500 km/s.
Geomagnetic activity was therefore very low with Kp at most reach values Kp=3 in the beginning of the
period and at most Kp=2 after mid Feb 8.
