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 196 Issued at 2200Z on 15 Jul 2010IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 14-2100Z to 15-2100Z Solar activity was very low during the past 24 hours.
Region 1087 (N19W05) has slightly decreased in spot number and is
currently a Cso group with a beta-gamma magnetic configuration.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low. There is a slight chance for an isolated M-class event
from Region 1087.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 14-2100Z to 15-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at unsettled to minor storm levels. The
solar wind monitor on the ACE spacecraft indicated the onset of a
coronal hole high speed stream at 14/1900Z with solar wind speeds
increasing to 500 km/s early in the period and gradually decreasing
thereafter. Early in the period, Bt increased to 18nT while Bz
decreased to -16nT.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be unsettled with a chance for isolated active periods
on day one (16 July) due to a coronal high speed stream. Quiet
levels are expected on days two and three (17-18 July).
