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 191 Issued at 2200Z on 09 Jul 2004IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 08-2100Z to 09-2100Z Solar activity was very low. Region 642 (S07E39) has
grown slightly in both sunspot count and white light coverage. It
was responsible for the only low level B-class flare in the past 24
hours. Continued CME activity were observed from the SOHO/LASCO
imagery. These appear to be backside events and not directed toward
Earth. A new region was numbered today as Region 643 (S08W07).
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low. There is a slight chance for Region 642 to produce a C-class
event.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 08-2100Z to 09-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be predominately quiet to unsettled.
