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 184 Issued at 2200Z on 03 Jul 2006IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z Solar activity was very low. Region 898 (S07W01)
continues to produce occasional minor B-class flare activity.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to continue
at very low levels. There is a small chance for a C-class flare from
Region 898.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to range from quiet to minor storm levels. A high speed
coronal hole stream is expected to rotate into a geoeffective
position in the next 24 hours. Expect occasional active to minor
storm periods on 04 and 05 July. Unsettled to active periods are
likely on 06 July.
