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 244 Issued at 2200Z on 01 Sep 2005IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 31-2100Z to 01-2100Z Solar activity was very low. Region 806 (S16E07)
continues to decay and is now an Alpha class magnetic group. Region
803 (N10W26) is now a plage region without spots. A large, bright
full halo CME first seen in LASCO imagery at 31/2230 UTC was
determined to have occurred on the far side of the sun.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low. There is a fair chance for an isolated C-class event
from region 806.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 31-2100Z to 01-2100Z
The geomagnetic field ranged from quiet to major storm levels. Minor
to major storm periods occurred between 31/2100 to 01/0600 UTC in
response to the corotating interaction region that became
geoeffective after 31/1000 UTC.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be at active to minor storm levels on 2 September.
Isolated major storming is possible due to the arrival of the full
halo CME associated with the long duration C2 flare on 31 August.
Predominantly active conditions are expected on 3 September,
decreasing to unsettled on 4 September.
