Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 190 Issued at 2200Z on 09 Jul 2007

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 08/2100Z to 09/2100Z: Solar activity was low. Region 963 (S07E54) has produced two C-class flares and numerous B-class flares. Region 963 grew slowly in size and complexity during the past 24 hours and is now classified as a D-type group with 12 spots and a beta-gamma magnetic configuration.

IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain low, with a slight chance for an isolated M-class flare from Region 963.

IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 08/2100Z to 09/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet.

IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to become unsettled with a chance for active periods late on day one (10 Jun) continuing through day two (11 Jun) in response to a recurrent coronal hole. Conditions should decline to quiet to unsettled on day three (12 Jun).
