SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. OVERALL THE AMOUNT OF ACTIVITY HAS INCREASED APPRECIABLY SINCE YESTERDAY. REGION 8375 (N18W07) HAS BEEN THE MOST ACTIVE REGION PRODUCING SIX C-CLASS FLARES AS WELL AS SEVERAL OPTICAL SUBFLARES AND ONE 1N OPTICAL FLARE. A FULL HALO CME WAS OBSERVED BY THE LASCO/SOHO SATELLITE AT 04/0418UT. THIS WAS IN CONJUNCTION WITH A C5/SF PRODUCED BY REGION 8375. REGION 8375 IS THE LARGEST AND MOST COMPLEX REGION ON THE SUN. CURRENTLY A DAI, BETA-GAMMA SPOT GROUP. THIS REGION HAS INCREASED SLIGHTLY IN SIZE AND THE SPOT COUNT HAS INCREASED FROM 22 TO 28. OTHER ACTIVE REGIONS ARE 8376 (S27E15), 8378 (N14E63) AND 8379 (S18W28) ALL OF WHICH PRODUCED AN OPTICAL SUBFLARE. REGION 8379 IS A NEW NUMBERED REGION WITH A 5 SPOT CRO, BETA SPOT GROUP.

THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD HAS BEEN QUIET.

THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED WITH POSSIBLE ACTIVE PERIODS. THE CAUSE FOR THE POTENTIAL INCREASE IN GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY IS DUE TO A PARTIAL HALO CME THAT WAS OBSERVED BY THE LASCO/SOHO SATELLITE ON 02/1354UT. THIS WAS IN CONJUNCTION WITH A C1/N1 FLARE IN REGION 8376 LOCATED AT S25E44 AT THAT TIME. THE FULL HALO CME OBSERVED TODAY AT 04/0418UT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY LATE ON NOVEMBER 6TH OR ON NOVEMBER 7TH.
