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 268 Issued at 2200Z on 25 Sep 2002IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z Solar activity was low during the past 24 hours, with
occasional, low-level C-class flares. Region 119 (S15W88) rotated
off the disk today. The largest region on the disk is 132 (N19W41)
which is a compact group of 400 millionths area with a beta-delta
magnetic configuration. Region 132 was mostly unchanged during the
past 24 hours. Region 130 (N06E10) showed growth but was otherwise
stable. Region 134 (N10E64) grew during the past 24 hours and
produced numerous subflares.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low
during the next three days. There is a slight chance for an isolated
M-class event from regions 132, 127, or 130.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet during the past 24 hours.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be predominantly quiet for the next three days.
