Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 147 Issued at 2200Z on 27 May 2010
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 26/2100Z
to 27/2100Z: Solar activity has been very low. No flares were
observed during the period.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 26/2100Z to 27/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field has been quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be predominately unsettled to active with a chance for
minor storm levels on day 1 (28 May). Unsettled to active levels are
expected on day 2 (29 May). Activity on days one and two is forecast
due to the expected arrival of the two CMEs observed on 23 and 24
May. Unsettled to active, with a chance for minor storm levels, is
expected on day three (30 May) as a recurrent coronal hole high
speed stream becomes geo-effective.
