Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 271 Issued at 2200Z on 27 Sep 2012
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  26/2100Z
to 27/2100Z:  Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24
hours. The largest solar flare of the period was an C4/Sf at 1720Z
from an unnumbered region around S18E39. There are currently 9
numbered sunspot regions on the visible disk, however most have
remained rather stable and quiet. A non-Earth directed full halo CME
was observed in both STEREO A-B and LASCO imagery early in the
period.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be at
low levels with a slight chance for M-class activity for the next
three days (28 - 30 September).
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 26/2100Z to 27/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to be at predominantly quiet levels for the next three days
(28 - 30 September).
