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 205 Issued at 2200Z on 24 Jul 2005IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z Solar activity has been very low. Region 791 (N13E36)
remains the only numbered spot group on the solar disk. This region
has shown a slight growth in area and maintains a simple beta
magnetic configuration. Several CME's were observed by LASCO
imagery over the past 24 hours. Analysis show these were backside
events and not Earth directed. One appears to be a halo CME first
observed by C2 imagery at 24/1354 UTC with an associated Type II
radio sweep.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low. There is a chance for an isolated C-class flare from
Region 791.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been quiet to unsettled. The greater than
2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at high levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels.
