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 147 Issued at 2200Z on 27 May 2006IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z Solar activity was very low. Region 885 (S12W54)
produced two B-class flares today. The largest of these was a B7
flare at 27/1643Z. Region 888 (N06W77) produced a B1 flare at
27/0723Z. Region 889 (S03E12) was numbered today.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low, but there is a slight chance for a C-class flare.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 26-2100Z to 27-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet on 28 May. Quiet to unsettled conditions are
expected on 29 May. Mostly unsettled conditions, with isolated
active periods, are expected on 30 May due to transient effects.
