COMMENT: Solar activity was very low over the last 24 hours. 
Region 2671 is the only active region on the solar disk visible 
from the earth. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in the available 
LASCO imagery during the last 24 hours. The previously anticipated 
effect of the positive polarity coronal hole strengthened the 
solar wind stream today. The solar wind speed gradually increased 
from 410 to 590 km/s during the day. The north-south component 
of IMF, Bz varied mostly between +7/-10 nT during this time, 
whereas Bt varied between 7/13 nT. Solar wind speeds are expected 
to remain elevated for 18-20 August due to the effect of this coronal 
hole. Very low to low solar activity is expected over the next 
three days (18 to 20 August) with further C-class events possible. 
There may be a minor chance of M-class activity on 18 and 19 
August.
