Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 18/2100Z to 19/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. The visible disk remained spotless. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 18/2100Z to 19/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels for 20 - 21 December. Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected for 22 December. The increase in activity is forecast due to a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream. III. Event Probabilities 20 Dec-22 Dec Class M 01/01/01 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green IV.
