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 135 Issued at 2200Z on 14 May 2004IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z Solar activity has been very low. Region 609 (S04E10)
produced several low B-class flares during the past 24 hours. The
region continues to show slight growth in white light area and
sunspot count.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low. Region 609 has the potential to produce C-class events
with a chance for an isolated M-class flare.
