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 248 Issued at 2200Z on 05 Sep 2002IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 04-2100Z to 05-2100Z Solar activity was low. Several C-class subflares
occurred, mostly in Regions 95 (N08W17) and 96 (S16W02). An
interesting eruptive filament near Region 102 (N08E26) was
associated with a C5 x-ray flare at 05/1706 UTC and a type II radio
sweep.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low
to moderate. M-class activity is possible in Regions 95 and 96. A
general increase in activity levels is expected towards the end of
the three-day forecast period with the return of old Region 69 (S08,
L=299) which departed the disk as an active Ekc sunspot group.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 04-2100Z to 05-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to active.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled.
