Solar activity was low. The most interesting event of the period was a long-duration C3/Sf event at 11/1719 UTC, with an associated bright prominence on the west limb near S15. The presumed source is Region 143 (S16, L=017), which had rotated beyond the west limb early in the period. Region 139 (N09W46) was a source of some lesser C-class activity during the period, and remains the largest sunspot group on the visible disk, with moderate but stable complexity in its delta magnetic configuration. Region 149 (N15E48) has exhibited some growth and produced two C-class flares during the period. Two new regions emerged on the disk and were numbered today: 155 (S09W53) and 156 (N09E10).

Solar activity is expected to be low to moderate. Regions 139 and 149 are both potential sources of isolated moderate flare activity.

The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached moderate levels but remained below event threshold.

The geomagnetic field is expected to be predominantly quiet to unsettled.
