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 240 Issued at 2200Z on 28 Aug 2007IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 27-2100Z to 28-2100Z Solar activity has been very low. Region 969 (S05W19)
is now a beta spot group.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 27-2100Z to 28-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been quiet to active. A transient
disruption in the solar wind occurred at approximately 0930 UTC.
This resulted in one period of minor storming at mid-latitudes and
one period of major storming at high-latitudes. The greater than 2
MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled for 29 August. There is a chance
for isolated active periods due to the continued influence of a
recurrent coronal hole high speed stream. The geomagnetic field is
expected to abate to quiet for 30 - 31 August.
