SDF Number 208 Issued at 2200Z on 27 Jul 2017

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 26/2100Z to
27/2100Z: Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24
hours. There are currently 0 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low
on days one, two, and three (28 Jul, 29 Jul, 30 Jul).

IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 26/2100Z to 27/2100Z: The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed
reached a peak of 555 km/s at 26/2314Z. Total IMF reached 6 nT at
26/2127Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -4 nT at
27/2059Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a
peak level of 16547 pfu.
IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to unsettled levels on day one (28 Jul) and quiet levels
on days two and three (29 Jul, 30 Jul).
