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 156 Issued at 2200Z on 04 Jun 2004IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z Solar activity was very low. Region 621 (S14W15) now
exhibits a simple beta magnetic configuration and is in a decay
phase. The remaining active regions were stable or in decay. Another
in a series of strong CMEs occurred from behind the northwest limb.
This near full halo CME was first visible on LASCO C2 at 04/0750Z. A
Type II radio sweep (700 km/s) was also associated with this CME.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to very
low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 03-2100Z to 04-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. Solar wind speed
continues to gradually decrease as a coronal hole rotates out of a
geoeffective position. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at
geosynchronous orbit reached high levels again today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to continue at quiet to unsettled levels.
