Solar activity was at low levels. The period began with multiple low level C-class flares that went optically uncorrelated. Region 9880 (N09W63) may have been responsible for several of the minor C-class flares and underwent slight decay late in the period. The gamma portion of yesterday's magnetic classification is no longer evident. Region 9885 (N11E69) is believed responsible for the largest flare during the period, producing a C7 x-ray flare at 28/1800 UTC. This region has shown steady growth in penumbral coverage. Region 9878 (N09W26) was unimpressive this period and has been in steady decay, the delta spot observed yesterday has become two distinct separate spots. Although less magnetically complex, this region retains a gamma magnetic signature. No new regions were numbered today.

Solar activity is expected to be at low to moderate levels. Regions 9880 and 9885 are magnetically complex enough to produce isolated M-class flare activity.

The geomagnetic field activity levels were at quiet to unsettled levels.

The geomagnetic field levels are expected to be at quiet to unsettled conditions throughout the forecast period.
