SUMMARY OF THE EVENT: A rapid increase of TEC from 10:00(UTC) until its maximum 12:45(UTC) was observed. Above Brussels, it corresponds to a maximum increase of 103% with respect to the median of the 15 previous days. The origin is not well determined, as the geomagnetic distrubances were moderate (maximum K of 3 at Dourbes).
