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.

C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was at
unsettled to minor storm levels. The Bz component of the
interplanetary magnetic field continues to be predominantly
southward. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached moderate to
high levels.
