Solar activity increased to moderate levels in the last minutes of the period. Region 554 (S08E62) produced an M1/Sf event at 08/2051Z. Multiple B and C-class flares where attributed to this region during the period. This region has recently rotated onto the visible solar disk and may have a weak gamma magnetic structure in the trailing portion of the sunspot cluster, currently analyzed as a beta group. Region 551 (S06W14) continues to show steady growth in penumbral coverage and continued counter-clockwise rotation of the intermediate sunspots was evidenced once again during the interval. A single lesser B-class flare was the extent of flare activity in this region today. Spotless active Region 553 (S04W38) managed to produce a C1 x-ray flare at 08/0452Z. No new regions were numbered today.

Solar activity is expected to be at low to moderate levels. Regions 551 and 554 have the potential to produce isolated M-class flare activity.

The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels. The greater than 2 MeV electron fluxes at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels today.

The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels. Isolated active conditions may be possible in the nighttime sectors throughout the period.
