The lowest solar cycle there was the solar cycle N14. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weekly Bulletin on Solar and Geomagnetic Activity Highlights on 30.07 - 05.08.2012, Forecast on 06 - 13.08.2012, Carrington Rotation 2126 (18.82.07.2012) SUNSPOT ACTIVITY OF THE SUN REMAINED AT THE AVERAGE LEVEL, HOWEVER ON JULY 3 ROSE TO THE HIGH. WEEKLY, THE AVERAGE OF SUNSPOT NUMBER IN THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM FOR THE PERIOD WAS MADE W=075+21/-11. ON THE VI- SIBLE SOLAR DISK CONSTANTLY THERE WERE 6-12 SUNSPOT GROUPS, ONE OF THEM, AR11532 (S20L185), GRADUALLY DEGRADING, BECAME AT FIRST THE AVE- RAGE, AND SINCE AUGUST 1 THE SMALL SIZE: AR11532 (S20L185, Sp= 510 m.v.h. on 28.07)- it was appeares on the vi- sible disk 25.07. Fast development with August 27 on 28 with increase of sunspot area in 6.5 times and at the end of the days a large flare was occurrences. In only 37 hours on July 27-30 in this active region were occurence 1 large and 2 flares of the average class. NEXT WEEK THE LEVEL OF SUNSPOT ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE AVERAGE. THE CALCULATED MOST LIKELY WEEKLY AVERAGE VALUE OF SUNSPOT NUMBER IN THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM FOR THE NEXT WEEK IS EXPECTED W=060+10/-10. FLARE ACTIVITY WAS ON THE AVERAGE LEVEL AT 30.07, AND THE LOW IN OTHER DAYS. BY DATA OF SOHO AND STEREO CORONOGRAPHS FOR THE PERIOD IT WAS OB- SERVED 73 CME AMONG WHICH ONE WAS "HALO" TYPE, ONE OF "PARTIAL HALO III" AND 3 WERE "PARTIAL HALO II". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FLARES to tm te c/p local.

GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY WERE ACTIVE ON JULY 30 AND ON AUGUST 2 WHEN TWO SUBSTORMS WERE REGISTERED BY DURATION OF 6 HOURS (G1) AND OF 9 HOURS (G1).
