Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 04/2100Z to 05/2100Z: Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C6 event observed at 05/0819Z from Region 1669 (N08E52). There are currently 3 numbered sunspot regions on the disk. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be at low levels on days one, two, and three (06 Feb, 07 Feb, 08 Feb). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 04/2100Z to 05/2100Z: 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 386 km/s at 05/0601Z. Total IMF reached 6.1 nT at 05/0408Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -5.5 nT at 05/0410Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 122 pfu. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels for the next three days (06 Feb, 07 Feb, 08 Feb). III.
