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 260 Issued at 2200Z on 17 Sep 2010IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 16-2100Z to 17-2100Z Solar activity ranged from very low to low. Region
1108 (S28E59) produced the largest event of the period, a C1/Sf at
17/0122Z. Additionally, Region 1108 and Region 1106 (S20W08)
produced several B-class events, along with numerous low frequency
radio activity.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low
with a chance of moderate activity from Region 1108.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 16-2100Z to 17-2100Z
Geomagnetic activity was quiet to unsettled with an isolated active
period observed at 17/0600Z.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be predominately quiet for the next three days (18 - 20
September).
