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 302 Issued at 2200Z on 29 Oct 2001IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 28-2100Z to 29-2100Z Solar activity has been moderate to high. Several
M-class events occurred during the period. Region 9682 (N12E18)
produced the largest of these with an M3/1f at 29/1113 UTC. The
event had an associated Type II radio sweep with a speed of 609
km/s. This region has grown in both area and sunspot count since
yesterday and retains its beta-gamma-delta magnetic configuration.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low
to moderate. There is also a possibility of a major flare from
Region 9682.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 28-2100Z to 29-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been unsettled to active.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled.
