Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 150 Issued at 2200Z on 30 May 2007

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 29/2100Z to 30/2100Z: Solar activity increased to low levels today. Region 958 (S13E49) continues to show decay. A C2 x-ray flare occurred at 30/1349Z and it is believed to have had a source region just off the east limb near S09E90. No new regions were numbered today.

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

IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 29/2100Z to 30/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels. 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 at predominantly quiet levels throughout the forecast period.
