Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 07/2100Z to 08/2100Z: Solar activity has been very low. Region 680 (N14W83) was newly numbered today. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 07/2100Z to 08/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled levels. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to remain at quiet to unsettled levels. There's a small chance for isolated periods of active levels beginning on 11 Oct due to the influence of a recurrent high-speed solar wind stream. III.
