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 164 Issued at 2200Z on 12 Jun 2012IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 11-2100Z to 12-2100Z Solar activity was low. Regions 1506 (N11E38), 1504
(S17E28), and 1507 (S27E02) were the most active regions on the
disk. Each region was responsible for multiple C-flares during the
period. The largest of these came from Region 1506 which produced a
C2 flare at 12/0315Z. All three of these regions have shown signs
of growth. There were no Earth-directed CMEs observed during the
period.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low
to moderate. There is a chance for an isolated M-class event from
Region 1504.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 11-2100Z to 12-2100Z
The geomagnetic field ranged from quiet to minor storm levels. Minor
storm levels were reached from 11/2100Z to 12/0300Z. This was
followed by an active period from 12/0300Z to 12/0600Z. Solar wind
observations indicated a sustained interval of negative Bz from
11/1500Z to 12/0200Z with peak values around -10nT. In addition,
the data indicated a solar sector boundary crossing starting late on
the 11th.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
Geomagnetic activity is
expected to be quiet to unsettled on day 1 (June 13). Quiet levels
are expected for 14-15 June.
