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 329 Issued at 2200Z on 25 NOV 1998IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS AT LOW LEVELS. REGION 8395 (N17E68)
PRODUCED A C8/1F FLARE AT 24/2215Z WITH AN ASSOCIATED TYPE II SWEEP.
THE TYPE II SPEED WAS ESTIMATED AT 800 KM/S. AN OPTICALLY
UNCORRELATED C6 X-RAY FLARE OCCURRED AT 25/1403Z WITH AN ASSOCIATED
TYPE II SWEEP; THE SPEED WAS ESTIMATED AT 1000 KM/S. BOTH REGIONS
8395 AND 8393 (S18E50) PRODUCED NUMEROUS LOW LEVEL C-CLASS X-RAY
FLARES. OBSERVATIONS REPORTED MORE SPOTS ROTATING INTO VIEW ON THE
EAST LIMB NEAR N17. IT IS POSSIBLE A SEPARATE REGION IS ROTATING ON
IMMEDIATELY BEHIND REGION 8395.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW
TO MODERATE. C-CLASS FLARES ARE EXPECTED WITH A POSSIBILITY OF A
M-CLASS FLARE FROM THE MORE ACTIVE REGIONS IN THE EAST.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO UNSETTLED.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS
EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED WITH ISOLATED ACTIVE CONDITIONS
POSSIBLE.
