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 011 Issued at 2200Z on 11 Jan 2005IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z Solar activity has been low. Region 718 (S06E32)
produced a very impulsive C1.4 on 11 Jan at 1616Z. Regions 718 and
719 (S07E35) have been combined into Region 718.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low.
Region 718 continues to show minor plage fluctuations with a fair
chance for isolated C-class activity.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 10-2100Z to 11-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels.
Interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) Bz has been fluctuating +5 to -5
nT over the last 36 hours, generating periods of active levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be at quiet to active levels. IMF fluctuations
associated with a large coronal hole have a potential to cause
periods of active levels through 13 Jan.
