Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 01/2100Z to 02/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 01/2100Z to 02/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was at quiet to active levels. Observations from the ACE spacecraft indicate solar wind speeds averaging around 700 km/s. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at mostly unsettled conditions with isolated active periods for 03 October. Quiet to unsettled levels are expected for 04-05 October. III. Event Probabilities 03 Oct-05 Oct Class M 01/01/01 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green IV.
