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 172 Issued at 2200Z on 21 JUN 1998IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 20-2100Z to 21-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. REGION 8243 (N17W38) CONTINUED
TO GENERATE SMALL C-CLASS FLARES. THE LARGEST WAS A C3/SF AT
20/2210Z. GROWTH IN THIS REGION APPEARS TO BE SLOWING. OTHER REGIONS
WERE QUIET.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW.
C-CLASS ACTIVITY IS PROBABLE IN REGION 8243. A CHANCE OF AN ISOLATED
M-CLASS FLARE REMAINS.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 20-2100Z to 21-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD RANGED FROM QUIET TO MINOR STORM. THE GREATER
THAN 2 MEV ELECTRON FLUX WAS MODERATE AFTER 21/1500Z.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS
EXPECTED TO BE UNSETTLED TO ACTIVE.
