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 312 Issued at 2200Z on 08 Nov 2006IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 07-2100Z to 08-2100Z Solar activity was very low. New Region 923 (S05E71)
produced multiple B-class flares in the last 24 hours. The largest
of these was a B6 at 08/1233Z. The large leader spot in this new
sunspot group is now visible. Region 921 (S06W66) produced a couple
of low-level B-class flares today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low.
There remains a chance for an isolated M-class flare from Region
923.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 07-2100Z to 08-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be unsettled to active, with possible minor storm
periods on 09-10 November as a recurrent coronal hole rotates into a
geoeffective position. Quiet to active conditions are expected on
11 November.
