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 154 Issued at 2200Z on 03 Jun 2001

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z

Solar activity has been low. The largest event was a C2/Sf from Region 9484 (S06E08) at 03/2011 UTC. This region continues to maintain some magnetic complexity and slowly increase in size and spot count, currently in a Dai/beta-gamma configuration. Other regions that exhibited activity today include 9486 (N28W22), and newly numbered 9488 (S18E61). Region 9488 was split from Region 9485 (S23E46) based on a better view of the region as it rotates onto the visible disk, and is presently the second largest region after 9487 (N19E60), which also grew in size and spot count today, but produced no activity of note.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be predominantly low for the period, but with a chance for isolated moderate flare activity possible for the developing regions noted in Section 1A above.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been mostly quiet to unsettled, with one active period observed at higher latitudes during 03/1500-1800 UTC. Coronal hole high speed stream effects have exhibited a weakening trend throughout the day, but remain in progress.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at mostly quiet to unsettled levels throughout the period.
