Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 170 Issued at 2200Z on 19 Jun 2005

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 18/2100Z
to 19/2100Z: Solar activity was low. Region 779 (S17W45) produced
two low level C-flares. The largest of these flares was a C2.1 at
19/1925 UTC.

IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low with a slight chance for an M-flare from Region 779.

IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 18/2100Z to 19/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux
at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels today.

IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled with isolated active conditions
possible on 20 June. On 21 and 22 June, quiet to unsettled
conditions are expected.
