Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 115 Issued at 2200Z on 25 Apr 2011

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  24/2100Z
to 25/2100Z:  Solar activity was very low.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is forecast to be very
low to low with a slight chance for a M-class flare from Region 1195
(S16W12) for the next 3 days (26-28 April).
IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 24/2100Z to 25/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled during the period.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  The geomagnetic field is
forecast to be mostly quiet on days 1 and 2 (26-27 April), and quiet
to unsettled with a chance for active conditions on day 3 (28 April)
due to recurrent coronal hole effects.
