:Product: 1025RSGA.txt :Issued: 2010 Oct 25 2200 UTC # Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, # Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force. # Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity SDF Number 298 Issued at 2200Z on 25 Oct 2010 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24/2100Z to 25/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Region 1117 (N22W02) produced several B-class flares during the past 24 hours. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low to low with a chance of C-class flares from region 1117 or Region 1115 (S30W64). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 24/2100Z to 25/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speeds observed at the ACE spacecraft remained at or above 600 km/s for most of the period. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled on day one (26 October) due to coronal hole effects. Days two and three (27 - 28 October) should be at mostly quiet levels as the coronal hole effects subside. III.
