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 243 Issued at 2200Z on 31 Aug 2006 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 30/2100Z to 31/2100Z: Solar activity was at very low levels today. Region 905 (S08W67) produced multiple B-class flares during the period. Region 906 (S09W51) is a rapidly emerging, newly numbered region. This region produced a B7 x-ray event that occurred at 31/1748Z and had an associated Type IV radio emission in addition to a Tenflare with a peak flux of 740 sfu.IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be at
very low levels. There is a chance for an isolated C-class flares
from both Regions 905 and 906.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 30-2100Z to 31-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be at predominantly quiet to unsettled levels. A chance
for active to isolated minor storm conditions are possible on 03
September due to a recurrent coronal hole.
