Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 212 Issued at 2200Z on 31 Jul 2011
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  30/2100Z
to 31/2100Z:  Solar activity was low during the past 24 hours. 
Region 1261 (N16E05) produced a C3/SN at 31/0254Z. This region has
grown in area and magnetic complexity, and classified as a
Beta-Gamma-Delta type spot group. Region 1260 (N19W22) and Region
1263 (N18E34) remained relatively unchanged.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be
predominately low, with a chance for an M-class x-ray event from
Region 1260 and Region 1261 for the next three days (August 01-03).
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 30/2100Z to 31/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field has been quiet to unsettled during the past 24
hours. Data observed at the ACE spacecraft indicated the
continuation of a coronal hole high speed stream, with wind
velocities reaching 690 km/s.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled with a chance for isolated active
periods on day one (August 01) due to the effects from the coronal
hole high speed stream. Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected
on days two and three (02-03 August) as the effects of the coronal
hole high speed stream wane.
