Solar Activity
Solar activity reached moderate levels due to an isolated M1.0/Sf flare from Region 3723 (S19E37, Fai/beta-gamma-delta). Slight decay was observed in the leading and trailing spots of the region. Slight decay was also observed in Region 3720 (S06W10, Dai/beta). Region 3727 (S18E53, Cso/beta) grew in spot count. New Region 3729 (S03E72, Cro/beta) rotated around the E limb and was numbered.
Solar Wind
Solar wind parameters reflected continued weak transient activity. The geomagnetic field ranged from 5 to near 12 nT with the Bz component between +11/-9 nT. Solar wind speed ranged from 319-373 km/s. Phi was mostly negative with a deviation into a positive sector between 26/0319-0757 UTC
Energetic Particle
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal to moderate levels and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at background levels.
