latest solar flare activity august 1 2012

Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 214 Issued at 2200Z on 01 Aug 2012

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  31/2100Z
to 01/2100Z:  Solar activity was low.  Regions 1528 (N17W56), 1532
(S19W14), 1535 (N18E37), 1536 (S22W01), and 1538 (S22E54) all
produced low level C-class flares.  Region 1536 is the most
magnetically complex group on the visible disk with a weak
Beta-gamma configuration.  No Earth-directed coronal mass ejections
(CMEs) were observed during the reporting period.

IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to continue
at low levels with a chance for M-class flares.

IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 31/2100Z to 01/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet.

IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled with isolated active periods
possible on day 1 (02 August) due to effects from the 28 July CME. 
Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected on day 2 (03 August). 
Mostly quiet conditions are expected on day 3 (04 August).
