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 188 Issued at 2200Z on 06 Jul 2004IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 05-2100Z to 06-2100Z Solar activity was very low. A full halo CME was
observed from the SOHO/LASCO imagery late on 05 July which appears
to be a backside event. There was also a Type II radio sweep with a
shock speed of 424 km/s that may be associated with this CME. The
event could likely be from old Region 635 (L=052). This region was
a moderately complex beta-gamma-delta magnetic configuration when it
rotated off the solar disk on 28 June. A long duration B1 flare was
observed at 06/1320 UTC which was associated with a CME off the west
limb.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 05-2100Z to 06-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been quiet to unsettled.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled.
