Geophysical 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.

None
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was quiet to
unsettled. Solar wind speed began the period near 700 km/s following
the arrival of a CME earlier yesterday. However, a weak IMF with
sustained northward Bz offset any significant impact on the
geomagnetic field.
