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.

IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be predominantly quiet on 13 October. Expect quiet to
active levels on 14-15 October, with isolated minor storm conditions
possible on 15 October, due to a recurrent coronal hole.
