Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 186 Issued at 2200Z on 05 Jul 2011
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  04/2100Z
to 05/2100Z:  Solar activity remained at very low levels. Several
low-level B-class flares occurred during the period from Regions
1242 (N18, L=056) and 1243 (N16W34). Region 1243 showed an increase
in spots and area and was classified as a Cso-beta group. Region
1244 (N15W67) showed a decrease in spots and area and was classified
as a Dso group with a Beta-gamma magnetic structure. No new regions
were numbered.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be very
low with a chance for an isolated C-class flare for the next three
days (06-08 July).
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 04/2100Z to 05/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to minor storm levels. Minor storm
levels were observed between 05/0300-0600Z.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to be at quiet levels on day one (06 July). Quiet to
unsettled levels, with isolated active levels, are expected late on
day two (07 July) and day three (08 July). The increase in activity
is due to a recurrent coronal hole high-speed stream and a possible
CME passage from the partial-halo CME observed on LASCO C3 at
03/0142Z.
