Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 08/2100Z to 09/2100Z: Solar activity has been very low. A string of minor B-class activity has occurred over the last 24 hours emanating from Region 680 (N15W90). IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 08/2100Z to 09/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels through 12 Oct. Beginning on 11 Oct, there is a slight chance for isolated active levels due to the effects of a recurrent high-speed solar wind stream. III.
