Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 31/2100Z to 01/2100Z: Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C1 event observed at 01/0906Z from Region 1640 (N28W06). There are currently 6 numbered sunspot regions on the disk. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is likely to be at low levels on days one, two, and three (02 Jan, 03 Jan, 04 Jan). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 31/2100Z to 01/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, reached a peak speed of 371 km/s at 31/2110Z. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels for the next three days (02 Jan, 03 Jan, 04 Jan). III.
