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 314 Issued at 2200Z on 10 Nov 2011IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z
Solar activity was low. Occasional C-class flares were
observed. Region 1339 (N19W33) produced the largest flare of the
day, a C6/1f at 10/1831Z. Region 1339 showed gradual intermediate
and trailer spot decay during the period and was classified as an
Fkc/beta-gamma. Minor spot growth was noted in Regions 1341
(N08E14), 1344 (S19W31), and 1345 (S25W16). No new regions were
numbered.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low
during the period (11 - 13 November) with a chance for an M-class
flare from Region 1339. There will also be a slight chance for a
major flare (M5 or above) from Region 1339 during the period.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on day 1 (11 November).
Activity is expected to increase to unsettled to minor storm levels
on day 2 (12 November) due to a CME arrival, associated with a halo
CME observed on 09 November. Activity is expected to decrease to
unsettled to active levels on day 3 (13 November) as CME effects
gradually subside.

Strong G3 geomagnetic storm watch for 23 March
Yesterday around 16 UTC an M1.2 solar flare took place around sunspot region 4028. The solar flare triggered a filament eruption which erupted from the center of the earth-facing solar disk.
