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 297 Issued at 2200Z on 24 Oct 2009IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z Solar activity was very low. No flares were detected.
Region 1029 (N14W01) is now a 13-spot bipolar sunspot group.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z
Geomagnetic field activity was mostly quiet. One period of unsettled
conditions was observed between 1800 - 2100Z.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
Geomagnetic field activity is
expected to be quiet to unsettled on day one (25 October) in
response to a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream. Quiet
conditions are expected on days two and three (26 - 27 October).
