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 211 Issued at 2200Z on 30 Jul 2010IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 29-2100Z to 30-2100Z Solar activity was very low. Region (1092) produced a
few B-class x-ray flares. The largest of these was a B9 at 30/0221Z
associated with a limb event CME visible off the northeast limb on
LASCO C3 imagery as well as STEREO A and B coronagraphs.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is forecast to be very
low to low with a chance for a C-class flare for the next 3 days (31
July-02 August).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 29-2100Z to 30-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet with an isolated period of
unsettled conditions between 15-18Z. The greater than 2 MeV electron
flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels during the past 24
hours.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
forecast to be mostly quiet with a few isolated periods of unsettled
conditions for the next 3 days (31 July-02 August).
