Solar activity was at moderate levels. After further review of a more comprehensive database set, it appears that the M4 flare that occurred yesterday (no region has been assigned to flare) at 28/1859 UTC could have originated from several different source regions. The most probable source region appears to be from the northeast limb which corresponds to Region 95 (N07E76), which rotated onto the visible disk and became a newly numbered region today. Region 95 did produce the largest flare today, an impulsive M3/Sf flare occurring at 29/1252 UTC with an associated 720 pfu Tenflare. Proximity to limb hinders any meaningful analysis of this region at this time as the most recent white-light images indicate the trailing cluster of spots have yet fully rotated into view. Three other optically uncorrelated low level M-class flares occurred today along with multiple C-class flares. Region 87 (S08W20) showed steady decay over the period although it retains a weak delta magnetic structure in the southeast portion of the spot complex. Despite the region's magnetic structure it only managed to produce minor activity today. The remaining active regions were of little note. Regions 93 (S16E13) and 94 (S17E67) were also assigned today.

Solar activity is expected to be at moderate levels.

The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels.

The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled throughout the period.
