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 176 Issued at 2200Z on 24 Jun 2004IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z Solar activity has been low. Region 635 (S11W53)
produced two C-class flares, a C1.4/Sf at 24/0559 UTC and a C1.7/Sf
at 24/0621 UTC. Region 635 maintained a beta-gamma-delta
configuration while growing slightly in size. No new regions were
numbered today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low.
Region 635 is expected to produce C-class flares, and isolated
M-class flares are possible.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been quiet to unsettled.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled for all three days (25-27 June),
with periods of isolated active and minor storm conditions on day
three (27 June) as Earth comes under the influence of a high speed
solar wind stream from a coronal hole.
