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 207 Issued at 2200Z on 26 Jul 2010

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 25-2100Z to 26-2100Z

Solar activity remained very low. Region 1089 (S24W21) produced occasional B-class flares as it continued to gradually decay. Region 1090 (N22E29) and newly numbered Region 1091 (N12W73) were both simple, single-spot A-type groups.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low through the period. However, there is a slight chance for an isolated C-class flare from Region 1089.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 25-2100Z to 26-2100Z
Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet levels. Despite the quiet conditions, Earth remained within a recurrent coronal hole high-speed wind stream. ACE solar wind readings indicated velocities varied from 396 to 459 km/s during the period with no discernible trend.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
Geomagnetic field activity is expected to increase to quiet to active levels with a slight chance for a minor storm on day 1 (27 July) as the current coronal hole high-speed stream intensifies. Activity is expected to decrease to quiet to unsettled levels during days 2 - 3 (28 - 29 July) as the high-speed stream gradually subsides.
