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 145 Issued at 2200Z on 25 May 2001IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z Solar activity was low. The largest flare of the past
day was a C5 at 25/1937 UTC which occurred in conjunction with
optical flares in Regions 9463 (N08W23) and 9468 (N07E12). Both of
these sunspot groups were responsible for other, smaller x-ray
flares as well. Other disk regions were relatively quiet.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low
to moderate. Additional C-class flares are likely and an isolated
M-class flare is possible. Regions 9463 and 9468 are the most
probable sources of activity.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z
The geomagnetic field ranged from quiet to active levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled.
