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 365 Issued at 2200Z on 31 Dec 2010IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 30-2100Z to 31-2100Z Solar activity increased to low levels. Region 1138
(N12W70) produced a C1 flare at 31/0425Z associated with a Type II
radio sweep (estimated shock velocity 875 km/s) and a
non-Earth-directed CME. New Region 1140 (N32E67) produced a B9 flare
at 31/1934Z.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low during the period (01 - 03 January) with a chance for
isolated C-class flares from Region 1140.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 30-2100Z to 31-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be at quiet levels through the period (01 - 03 January).
