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 301 Issued at 2200Z on 27 Oct 2000IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z Solar activity was moderate. An M1 xray flare at 2056
UTC, with no reported optical association, was the day's largest
event. Earlier, a C8 xray flare at 1127 UTC, quickly followed by a
C9 at 1203 UTC, are thought to stem from regions now past the NW
limb. The visible disk was stable. One new region, 9211 (N30W43),
emerged during the day.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low
to moderate.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be unsettled to active. Effects of a CME on 25 October
are due to begin in the next 24 hours. High latitudes may experience
episodes of minor storm conditions. Conditions should calm by the
end of the interval.
