Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 156 Issued at 2200Z on 05 Jun 2006

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 04/2100Z to 05/2100Z: Solar activity was at very low levels. Region 892 (S08E53) continues in a growth phase and now exhibits an EKI beta-gamma sunspot group with a possible delta configuration in the leader spots. The overlying plage field has also intensified, but flare activity was limited to isolated B-class events.

IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low. Region 892 has potential for C-class activity. An isolated M-class flare is possible.

IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 04/2100Z to 05/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet with isolated unsettled levels.

IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to range from quiet to minor storm levels. Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected on 06 June. A large recurrent coronal hole is expected to rotate into a geoeffective position on 07 June. Expect active levels with occasional minor storm periods on 07 and 08 June.
