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 115 Issued at 2200Z on 25 Apr 2006

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z

Solar activity was low. Region 875 (S10E46), a beta gamma delta magnetic group, produced a long duration C1 flare at 25/0726 UTC. An associated CME was observed in LASCO imagery off the east limb with a speed of approximately 520 Km/s. This CME is not expected to be geoeffective.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low to low. An isolated M-class flare is possible from Region 875.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly quiet.
