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 364 Issued at 2200Z on 30 Dec 2007IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 29-2100Z to 30-2100Z Solar activity was low due to a C1.7 flare observed at
30/2005Z. The most likely origin of the flare was a brightening on
the east limb near where old Region 978 (S08, L=223) is expected to
return.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to remain
very low to low. An increasing chance of C-class activity is
expected through the forecast period (31 Dec 07 - 2 Jan 08).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 29-2100Z to 30-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet. The greater than 2 MeV electrons at
geosynchronous orbit reached high levels again today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to remain quiet.
