Quiet Space Weather expected in the coming few days

ABOVE- THE SUNSPOT 1093 NOW HAS TWO DARK HOLES INSTEAD OF ONE DARK HOLE. THIS MEANS REDUCTION IN INTENSITY

The active sunspots are already facing away from sun. The CME which was emitted on 7th August reached earth on 10-11August and made a peak 3 Kp. It did make a good aurora show in high latitudes. No geomagnetic storm was triggered by it

Sunspot 1098 and 1097 are now moving on the earth-sun line side. As I expect no significant solar flares and especially coronal mass ejections from the spots 1097 and 1098, space weather will remain quiet BUT a gigantic coronal hole has been created.This hole starts from sunspot 1093 which has not split into two parts extending to the southern side of the earth. A strong solar wind will be eminent on the earth as the coronal hole is at the Sun-earth line. This solar wind will cause some very weak geomagnetic effect on the earth. I think the solar wind will peak by 14th august night and more on 15th august mid period. NO SUCH NOTABLE effects possible and some slight increase in auroras possible but it will not be EARTH SHATTERING.
The PERSID Meteor showers too are going in a good way with 35 perseids and hour and some fireballs also!
