Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 25/2100Z to 26/2100Z: Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. There are currently 4 numbered sunspot regions on the disk. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low with a chance for a C-class flares on days one, two, and three (27 May, 28 May, 29 May). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 25/2100Z to 26/2100Z: 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 368 km/s at 26/1731Z. Total IMF reached 12 nT at 26/1617Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -7 nT at 26/1613Z. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels on day one (27 May), quiet to unsettled levels on day two (28 May) and quiet to active levels on day three (29 May).
