Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 15/2100Z to 16/2100Z: Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. There are currently 2 numbered sunspot regions on the disk. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low with a slight chance for a C-class flare on days one, two, and three (17 Jun, 18 Jun, 19 Jun). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 15/2100Z to 16/2100Z: The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed reached a peak of 646 km/s at 16/0116Z. Total IMF reached 10 nT at 15/2118Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -4 nT at 16/1819Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 226 pfu. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on day one (17 Jun) and quiet levels on days two and three (18 Jun, 19 Jun). III.
