:Product: 0722RSGA.txt :Issued: 2012 Jul 22 2200 UTC # Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, # Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force. # Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity SDF Number 204 Issued at 2200Z on 22 Jul 2012 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 21/2100Z to 22/2100Z: Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. Region 1526 (S18E39) produced the largest event of the period, a C1 x-ray flare at 21/2324Z. The other regions on the disk remained stable and quiet. Two new, yet to be numbered regions, rotated onto the visible disk early in the period. Both regions appear to have sunspots, however SWPC forecasters are awaiting more data. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels with a chance for C-class events for the next three days (23-25 July). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 21/2100Z to 22/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels with isolated active periods for the next three days (23-25 July), as a coronal hole high speed stream becomes geoeffective.
