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 118 Issued at 2200Z on 27 APR 2000IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. INTERMITTENT C-CLASS EVENTS
OCCURRED, WITH REGIONS 8967 (N23W42) AND 8970 (S14W10) THE PRIMARY
CONTRIBUTORS. ALL REGIONS ON THE DISK WERE, IN GENERAL, EITHER
STABLE OR DECAYING. A PROMINENCE ERUPTED FROM THE NW LIMB AT
APPROXIMATELY 1500Z.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST
AT THE LOW LEVEL.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET TO UNSETTLED.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS
EXPECTED TO BE UNSETTLED TO ACTIVE ON 28 APRIL, AS A HIGH SPEED
STREAM MAY HAVE A MINIMAL IMPACT ON THE FIELD. UNSETTLED CONDITIONS
SHOULD PREVAIL FOR THE FINAL TWO DAYS OF THE INTERVAL.
