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 268 Issued at 2200Z on 25 Sep 2010

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. Region 1109 (N22E27) was classified as an Ehi group with a Beta-Gamma magnetic configuration and produced a few B-class flares during the period. No new regions were numbered.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low to low. However, there is a slight chance for an M-class flare from Region 1109.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels as a recurrent coronal hole high-speed stream continued.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet during days one and two (26-27 September). Quiet to unsettled levels are expected on day three (28 September) as a weak, recurrent coronal hole high-speed stream becomes geoeffective.
