The data appears at the end of this bulletin. Average daily sunspot numbers rose over 27 points to 48.1. Average daily solar flux values were up 9 points. Geomagnetic indices were on the average lower. Daily solar flux is expected to stay around 80 until December 5, when it is expected to decline. The predicted planetary A index for the next five days is 12, 10, 15, 20 and 20. This indicates recurring geomagnetic disturbance, especially toward the end of this week.
