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 160 Issued at 2200Z on 09 JUN 1999IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 08-2100Z to 09-2100Z
SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. ONLY OCCASIONAL SMALL C-CLASS
EVENTS OCCURRED DURING THE DAY. REGION 8574 (N29W12) CONTINUES TO BE
THE MOST ACTIVE REGION, PRODUCING TWO SMALL C-CLASS EVENTS AND
SEVERAL OPTICAL SUB FLARES. TWO NEW REGIONS WERE ASSIGNED: 8579
(N12E10) AND 8580 (S19E67).
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 08-2100Z to 09-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS MOSTLY QUIET TO UNSETTLED WITH A SINGLE
ACTIVE PERIOD OCCURRING 09/1500-1800UT.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS
EXPECTED TO BE MOSTLY QUIET TO UNSETTLED DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS,
WITH A CHANCE OF ISOLATED ACTIVE CONDITIONS. QUIET TO UNSETTLED
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED JUNE 11-12.
