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 007 Issued at 2200Z on 07 Jan 2010IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06-2100Z to 07-2100Z Solar activity was very low. New Region 1040 (N28E59)
was numbered today. This region has produced low level B-class
flares and is a beta magnetic classification.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low. There is a slight chance for an isolated C-class flare
from Region 1040.
