Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 175 Issued at 2200Z on 24 Jun 2005

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 23/2100Z
to 24/2100Z: Solar activity was at very low levels. Flare activity
was limited to minor B-class x-ray events seen on the solar west
limb near S19. The source region for this activity is believed to
be from old Region 779 (S19 L=332). Region 780 (S08W30) underwent
continued decay and the region has become a simple BXO beta group.
No new regions were numbered today.

IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain
at very low levels.

IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 23/2100Z to 24/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to minor storm levels. The storm
conditions are due to a recurrent coronal hole. The associated
solar wind speeds have been elevated to near 500 km/sec throughout
most of the period.

IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be at predominantly unsettled to active levels. There
may be a slight chance of isolated minor storming conditions though
25 June due to the geoeffective coronal hole. Unsettled levels with
isolated active conditions are expected on 26 June as the coronal
hole wanes. Quiet to unsettled levels should return by 27 June.

III. Event Probabilities 25 Jun-27 Jun
