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 241 Issued at 2200Z on 29 Aug 2011IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 28-2100Z to 29-2100Z Solar activity was low. Occasional C-class x-ray flares
occurred. The largest flare was a C3 at 29/0721Z from an area just
beyond the northeast limb. Visible disk regions were either stable
or declining. There were no Earth-directed CMEs observed during the
period. No new regions were numbered.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low during the period (30 August - 01 September) with a chance for
more C-class activity from the area just beyond the northeast limb.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 28-2100Z to 29-2100Z
Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet to unsettled levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
Geomagnetic field activity is
expected to be at mostly quiet levels through the period (30 August
- 01 September).
