Additional Comments

Solar wind speed is now slowly declining as the ongoing coronal hole effects diminish.
Several coronal mass ejections were observed between late 14th and early 16th Oct. None of them is believed to be Earth-directed, however slight chances of some glancing impacts cannot be fully ruled out.
Overall QUIET geomagnetic conditions are anticipated, with chances of ACTIVE intervals.
