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 026 Issued at 2200Z on 26 Jan 2007IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 25-2100Z to 26-2100Z Solar activity was low. New Region 940 (S06E77)
rotated onto the visible disk today. This region produced a C3
flare at 25/2143Z, as well as a long duration B3 flare at 26/0951Z.
Region 940 is currently classified as an Hax Alpha sunspot group,
since only one spot is currently visible on the solar disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low
to moderate. Region 940 is capable of producing M-class flares.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 25-2100Z to 26-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet. The greater than 2 MeV electron
flux at geosynchronous orbit remained at high levels today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to range from quiet to active for the next three days.
Isolated periods of minor storming are possible at high latitudes on
29 January, as a recurrent coronal hole rotates into a geoeffective
position.
