Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 173 Issued at 2200Z on 22 Jun 2005

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 21/2100Z
to 22/2100Z: Solar activity was low. Region 780 (S08W01) produced a
C1.8/Sf flare at 1633 UTC. Region 779 (S19W82) is in decay and is
rotating around the west limb quietly.

IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low.
Regions 779 and 780 may produce C-class flares.

IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 21/2100Z to 22/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet. The greater than 2 MeV electron
flux at geosynchronous orbit remained at high levels today.

IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet on 23 June. Unsettled to active levels are
expected on 24 and 25 June, with a chance for isolated minor
storming as a coronal hole high speed solar wind stream becomes
geoeffective.
