Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 02/2100Z to 03/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. No flares were detected. The visible disk was spotless. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 02/2100Z to 03/2100Z: Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet levels. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at quiet levels durings days 1 - 2 (04 - 05 May). Field activity is expected to increase to unsettled levels on day 3 (06 May) with a chance for active levels at high latitudes due to a recurrent coronal hole high-speed stream. III.
