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 284 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Oct 2014IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24
hours. There are currently 3 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is likely to be low with a
slight chance for an M-class flare on days one, two, and three (12 Oct,
13 Oct, 14 Oct).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z

wind speed, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, reached a peak speed of
378 km/s at 11/0347Z. Total IMF reached 9 nT at 11/1321Z. The maximum
southward component of Bz reached -8 nT at 11/0926Z.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet levels on days one and two (12 Oct, 13 Oct) and quiet to
unsettled levels on day three (14 Oct).
