Solar activity report
Any mentioned solar flare in this report has a scaling factor applied by the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC). Because of the SWPC scaling factor, solar flares are reported as 42% smaller than for the science quality data. The scaling factor has been removed from our archived solar flare data to reflect the true physical units.

Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 300 Issued at 2200Z on 27 OCT 1998IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY HAS BEEN VERY LOW. NO SIGNIFICANT FLARES
OCCURRED. REGION 8369 (N18E31), A 7-SPOT 'CAO' BETA GROUP, IS THE
ONLY ACTIVE REGION CURRENTLY ON THE VISIBLE DISK.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW,
WITH THE CHANCE FOR C-CLASS X-RAY ACTIVITY FROM REGION 8369.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD HAS BEEN MOSTLY QUIET FOR THE PAST 24 HOURS. A
SINGLE PERIOD OF UNSETTLED CONDITIONS WAS OBSERVED AT HIGH LATITUDES
DURING THE INTERVAL 26/2100-2400Z. THE GREATER THAN 2 MEV ELECTRON
FLUX CONTINUES IN THE HIGH RANGE.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS
EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS.
