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 155 Issued at 2200Z on 04 Jun 2009

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. There were three low level B-class flares during the past 24 hours. Region 1019 (N24W10) continues to be the only spotted region on the disk and was quiet and stable.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to remain very low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet during the past 24 hours. There was one unsettled period from 0300-0600Z.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet for the next three days (5-7 June).
