*estimated from real time data

The gemagnetic field was at unsettled to minor storm levels on 
13 and 14 Oct, possibly due to coronal hole induced high speed
solar wind speed stream as solar activity was otherwise low. 
Quiet to active levels prevailed on 20 Oct, again due to elevated 
solar wind speeds from coronal hole activity.
