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 113 Issued at 2200Z on 23 Apr 2011IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 22-2100Z to 23-2100Z Solar activity was low. Region 1195 (S16E14) produced
several impulsive C-class flares during the period. This spot group
maintained a Beta-Gamma magnetic configuration, though also showing
signs of decay with a decrease in area. Region 1193 (N17W57) was
stable and quiet during the period.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is forecast to be low
with a chance for a M-class x-ray event in the next 3 days (24-26
April).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 22-2100Z to 23-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet with the exception of an
isolated period of active conditions between 23/09Z and 23/12Z.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be mostly quiet for the next 3 days (24-26 April).
