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 262 Issued at 2200Z on 19 Sep 2011IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 18-2100Z to 19-2100Z
Solar activity was low. Region 1296 (N26W05) produced a
long duration C6 flare at 19/0737Z. Region 1301 (N20E63) produced a
C6/Sn flare at 19/1541Z. SOHO LASCO imagery observed 4 CME limb
events in the past 24 hours, none of which are expected to be
geoeffective. Region 1295 remains a beta gamma magnetic
configuration.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low
for the next three days (20-22 September). A chance for isolated
M-class flares exists from Region 1295.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 18-2100Z to 19-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet for the next three days (20-22 September).
