Mercury next enters retrograde in 74 days.
Solar activity was very low. Region 2759 (N27E10, Hrx/alpha) remained stable and inactive. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available satellite imagery.

The Solar System at a Glance
Solar wind parameters, as measured by the DSCOVR spacecraft, reflected mostly nominal conditions. Total magnetic field strength was at 5-6 nT through most of the day. The Bz component briefly reached as far south as -5 nT. Solar wind speeds fluctuated between ~380-450 km/s. Phi angle was primarily oriented in the negative sector.
There is a 20% chance of solar activity, with a 1% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.
