Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 01/2100Z to 02/2100Z: Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. 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 (03 Jan, 04 Jan, 05 Jan). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 01/2100Z to 02/2100Z: 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 335 km/s at 02/1105Z. Total IMF reached 5.5 nT at 02/1339Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -4.6 nT at 02/1110Z. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels for the next three days (03 Jan, 04 Jan, 05 Jan). III.
