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 030 Issued at 2200Z on 30 Jan 2005IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 29-2100Z to 30-2100Z Solar activity has been very low. Region 727 (S09W42)
exhibited some growth in size and magnetic complexity, and was
observed in a beta-gamma configuration. No new regions were
numbered today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low. Region 727 may produce C-class flares.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 29-2100Z to 30-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet to active. Solar wind speeds
remained steady at about 600 km/s over the period.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to active on 31 January, diminshing to quiet to
unsettled conditions on 1-2 February as the coronal hole high speed
solar wind stream moves out of geoeffective position.
