Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 05/2100Z to 06/2100Z: Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. There are currently 0 numbered sunspot regions on the disk. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low on days one, two, and three (07 Oct, 08 Oct, 09 Oct). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 05/2100Z to 06/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 368 km/s at 05/2350Z. Total IMF reached 10 nT at 06/0924Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -4 nT at 06/0306Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 1331 pfu. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels on days one, two, and three (07 Oct, 08 Oct, 09 Oct). III.
