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 quiet
to active levels. A weak coronal hole high speed stream appears to
have passed the ACE spacecraft at approximately 21/0800 UTC with
maximum solar wind speeds reaching 650 km/s at approximately 20/0900
UTC. Following two hours of a sustained southward Bz, a brief
geoeffective period of active conditions occurred between 20/1200
and 1500 UTC.
