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 324 Issued at 2200Z on 20 Nov 2005 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 19/2100Z to 20/2100Z: Solar activity was low. Region 822 (S08W25) produced two C-class flares. A C2.5 flare occurred at 20/0736Z, and a C1.5 flare occurred at 20/1520Z. This region continues to slowly decay. New Region 824 (S13E68) rotated onto the visible disk today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low to moderate. Region 822 is capable of producing an M-class flare.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 19-2100Z to 20-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was predominantly quiet, with periods of active conditions occurring between 19/1500Z and 19/2100Z.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels, with isolated active periods possible on 21 November due to a solar sector boundary crossing.
