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 012 Issued at 2200Z on 12 Jan 2001IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 11-2100Z to 12-2100Z Solar activity was low. Only three isolated C-class
events occurred during the period. The largest being an optically
uncorrelated C2 event at 12/1212 UTC.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low
with isolated M-class events possible.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 11-2100Z to 12-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet to unsettled with a single
mid-latitude active period occurring at 12/0300-0600 UTC.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to active.
