Solar activity was low. Region 788 (S06E32) produced a C1/Sf flare with an observed optical Y-shaped ribbon at 05/1526 UTC. This event had an associated partial halo CME which was first observed in the LASCO imagery at 05/1530 UTC. There were two other CME's observed by LASCO imagery during the last 24 hours. One was at 04/2130 UTC and the second was observed at 05/0330 UTC. Both of these appear to be backside events and not Earth directed. Region 786 (N12E23) has lost its delta magnetic configuration and has decreased in total sunspot count. Region 783 (S03W22) has grown and is now around 530 millionths of white light area coverage and has developed a magnetic beta-gamma configuration. A 26 degree long filament disappeared from S22W22 between 05/0205-1220 UTC.

Solar activity is expected to be low. Both Regions 783 and 786 are capable of producing and isolated M-class event.

The geomagnetic field was quiet.

The geomagnetic field is expected to be predominately quiet for 06-07 July. Quiet to unsettled conditions with isolated active periods are possible on 08 July due to the effects of the partial halo CME observed today.
