Solar activity remained at moderate levels today. Region 794 (S11E47) produced the largest flare of the period, an M4/1n event that occurred at 02/1831Z. There was an associated Tenflare and a Type II Radio sweep. An associated CME on the east solar limb was first seen in LASCO C2 imagery at 02/1854Z and may have a weak geoeffective component. This region also produced multiple B and C-class flares during the period and underwent growth in both magnetic complexity and sunspot count since yesterday. Region 792 (N12E12) produced a C6/Sn at 02/2016Z, prior to this event activity was limited to minor B-class events. The delta structure in the northern portion of the spot cluster and the total sunspot area have shown decay during the period. No new regions were numbered today.

Solar activity is expected to remain at moderate levels. Regions 792 and 794 have the potential of producing M-class flare activity.

The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels.

The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on 03 August. The CME activity from yesterday and today could lead to isolated minor storming conditions on 04 August. Quiet to unsettled conditions should return by 05 August.
