SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. REGION 8297 (N32W16) PRODUCED AN OPTICAL SUB-FLARE AT 13/0538UT AND HAS BEEN QUIET AND STABLE SINCE THEN. REGION 8299 (N15W01) HAS BEEN SHOWING PLAGE ENHANCEMENTS AND FLUCTUATIONS FOR MOST OF THE DAY. THIS REGION PRODUCED 3 C-CLASS X-RAY FLARES AND 5 OPTICAL SUB-FLARES. THE MAGNETIC CONFIGURATION HAS BECOME MORE COMPLEX, RESULTING IN A CKO BETA-GAMMA-DELTA SPOT GROUP. THE SIZE HAS REMAINED THE SAME AS YESTERDAY, AROUND 520 MILLIONTHS. REGION 8293 (S22W70) HAS SHOWN RENEWED ACTIVITY LATE IN THE DAY WITH 2 C-CLASS FLARES. THE LARGEST WAS A C9/SF AT 13/1756UT. THE MAUNA LOA SOLAR OBSERVATORY REPORTED A CORRESPONDING CME COMING OFF OF THE WEST LIMB AT S30 AT 13/1800UT. NO OTHER SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITY WAS NOTED AND THE REST OF THE REGIONS WERE QUIET AND STABLE

SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW. REGIONS 8293 AND 8297 CAN BE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO PRODUCE ISOLATED C-CLASS FLARES. BOTH REGIONS ALSO HAVE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF PRODUCING AN M-CLASS FLARE.

THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD HAS BEEN QUIET TO UNSETTLED.
