START OF ALL QUIET ALERT ....................... The SIDC - RWC

Belgium expects quiet Space Weather conditions for the next 48 hours or

until further notice. This implies that: * the solar X-ray output is

expected to remain below C-class level, * the K_p index is expected to

remain below 5, * the high-energy proton fluxes are expected to remain

below the event threshold.
