Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 28/2100Z to 29/2100Z: Solar activity was very low with no flares observed. The visible disk remained spotless. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 28/2100Z to 29/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet on day one of the period (30 December). Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected on days two and three (31 December - 01 January) due to a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream that will rotate into a geoeffective position. III.
