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 134 Issued at 2200Z on 14 MAY 1999IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. THERE WERE TWO SMALL OPTICALLY
UNCORRELATED C-CLASS X-RAY FLARES EARLY IN THE PERIOD. LASCO/EIT
IMAGES INDICATED A CME BEHIND THE NE LIMB AT APPROX 14/0400Z, AND
THE DISAPPEARANCE OF A 20 DEGREE LONG FILAMENT (S35E60) AT 14/0600Z.
REGIONS 8544 (S20E60) AND 8545 (N37E72) WERE NUMBERED TODAY.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE VERY
LOW TO LOW.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD HAS BEEN QUIET TO UNSETTLED.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS
EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED. THE EFFECTS OF A RECURRENT
CORONAL HOLE ARE EXPECTED BY THE LAST DAY OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.
