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 196 Issued at 2200Z on 15 JUL 1999IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 14-2100Z to 15-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW DUE TO TWO C-CLASS EVENTS.
REGIONS 8625 (S18W40), 8627 (S14W20), AND 8634 (S19E30) ALL PRODUCED
MINOR ACTIVITY. THE REST OF THE DISK AND LIMB WERE MOSTLY QUIET. ONE
NEW REGION WAS NUMBERED; 8635 (N42W64).
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY FORECAST: SOLAR
ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW TO VERY LOW. ACTIVITY MAY START TO
INCREASE LATE IN THE PERIOD AS FORMER ACTIVE LONGITUDES RETURN TO
THE EAST LIMB.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 14-2100Z to 15-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS MOSTLY UNSETTLED UNTIL 0900UT AND THEN WAS
QUIET FOR THE REST OF THE PERIOD.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS
EXPECTED TO BE MOSTLY QUIET.
