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 156 Issued at 2200Z on 05 Jun 2005

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 04-2100Z to 05-2100Z

Solar activity was low during the past 24 hours due to three C-class events. The first was a C2 at 2225 UTC from newly numbered Region 776 (S05E71). The second was a C1/Sf at 0328 UTC from Region 772 (S18W18), and the third was a C3 at 1350 UTC from Region 776. Region 776 rotated into view today as a moderate-sized D-type group and was the most active region on the disk. Region 772 (S18W18) appears to have become less complex during the past 24 hours.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low. There is a slight chance, however, for an isolated M-class event from 772 or 776 during the next three days (06-08 June).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 04-2100Z to 05-2100Z
The geomagnetic field ranged from quiet to minor storm levels. Solar wind data indicate the onset of a high speed stream from a coronal hole, beginning at about 2300 UTC. The high speed stream resulted in increased geomagnetic activity and led to a single, minor storm interval from 0600-0900 UTC. Conditions have been quiet to unsettled since 0900 UTC.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly unsettled to active with a chance for minor storm periods for the next two days (06-07 June), due to persistence of the high speed stream and due to possible effects from the recent eruptive solar events of 03/0411 UTC (M1/CME) and 03/2355 UTC (C6/Type II/Type IV). Predominantly unsettled levels are expected for the third day (08 June).
