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 has been at
quiet to unsettled levels. There was an isolated active period at
mid latitudes in response to a southward oscillation in the Bz
component of the interplanetary magnetic field between 08/1500 and
1800Z. The coronal hole high speed stream that has been
geoeffective for the past several days appears to have rotated out
of its favorable position early in the period. The greater than 2
MeV electron fluxes at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels
again today.
