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 203 Issued at 2200Z on 22 Jul 2010IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 21-2100Z to 22-2100Z Solar activity was very low. Todays activity consisted
of occasional mid-level and upper level B-class flares. Most of
these were from Region 1089 (S23E33) although Region 1087 (N18,
rotated beyond west limb) also contributed. Activity appeared to be
on a general decreasing trend during the last few hours of the
period. Region 1089 appeared to be simplifying somewhat and showed a
slight decline in overall sunspot area.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low for the next three days (23-25 July).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 21-2100Z to 22-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be unsettled for the next two days (23-24 July). The
increase is expected due to a favorably positioned coronal hole.
Quiet to unsettled levels are expected for 25 July.
