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 182 Issued at 2200Z on 01 Jul 2006

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 30-2100Z to 01-2100Z

Solar activity continues at very low levels. Region 898 (S06E26) produced occasional B-class flares including a B9.8 at 01/0726Z. Region 897 (N06W12) continues to decay.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to continue at very low levels with a small chance for a C-class flare from Region 898.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 30-2100Z to 01-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet with isolated unsettled periods. Solar wind speed slowly declined, ending the period near 400 km/s.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to range from quiet to minor storm levels over the next three days. Expect quiet conditions on 02 July. A recurrent high speed coronal hole stream is expected to rotate into a geoeffective position on 03 July and produce occasional active to minor storm periods on both 03 and 04 July.
