SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------

             Solar activity was at very low levels.  Region 987
       (S08E36) has grown in area and spot number over the summary period. 
       New region 988 (S09E59) was numbered today.  Both of these regions
       are d-type spot groups with beta magnetic configurations.  Multiple
       B-class events have occurred from these regions, as well as a region
       that is on the east limb.

            Solar activity forecast:  solar activity is expected to be at
       very low to low levels.  There is a chance for isolated C-class
       flares from regions 987 and 988.

            The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field is
       expected to be at mostly quiet to unsettled levels on day one (25
       march).  On days two and three (26 and 27 march) an increase to
       unsettled to active levels is expected due to a coronal hole high
       speed stream rotating into a geoeffective position.  During this
       period isolated minor storm levels at middle latitudes and major
       storm conditions at high latitudes are possible.
