Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 181 Issued at 2200Z on 30 Jun 2007

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 29/2100Z to 30/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Region 961 (S12E09) has developed in size and complexity, but has not produced any significant activity. Region 962 (S10E37) has decayed into a simple Alpha-class spot group.

IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. There is a slight chance of an isolated C-class flare from Region 961.

IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 29/2100Z to 30/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. Solar wind speed has been steadily decreasing, but remains slightly elevated due to the coronal hole high speed stream.

IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled for the next three days (01 – 03 July).
