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.

IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low with
a slight chance for an M-class flare on day one (27 Jan) and expected to
be low with a chance for M-class flares on days two and three (28 Jan,
29 Jan).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 25-2100Z to 26-2100Z
