Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 27/2100Z to 28/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. New region 890 (S14W29) produced a B1 flare at 28/1257Z. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 27/2100Z to 28/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet. A period of unsettled conditions was observed from 28/0300Z - 28/0600Z, possibly due to a glancing blow from the CME which occurred on 26 May. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled for the first two days (29-30 May). Predominantly unsettled conditions are expected on 31 May. III.
