Solar activity was low. Region 177 (N17W22) produced the largest event of the period - a C9/Sf flare at 05/2201Z. This region has shown some decay and has been relatively quiet since producing the C9 flare. Region 180 (S10W01) continues to develop both in size and complexity. It now exhibits one, maybe two, delta configurations in a spot group exceeding 550 millionths of areal coverage. Several C-class flare were observed in this region, the largest being a C7/Sf at 0532Z. An associated Type II sweep (405 km/s) and CME were also observed, but the CME did not appear to be earthward directed. Three new regions were numbered today, and two of them - Region 187 (N07E07) and 188 (N11E22) produced minor C-class flares late in the period. Region 189 (N12E56) was also numbered today.

Solar activity is expected to be moderate. Region 180 will likely produce C and M-class activity. Region 177 has potential for a small M-class flare.

The geomagnetic field was unsettled to active with minor storm periods at high latitudes. High speed coronal hole effects with persistent southward Bz are causing the disturbance. There are also indications of a weak transient passage late in the period, which is enhancing this disturbance. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels.

The geomagnetic field is expected to continue at unsettled to active periods with occasional minor, or even major storm periods at high latitudes.
