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 273 Issued at 2200Z on 30 Sep 2010IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 29-2100Z to 30-2100Z Solar activity was very low. Region 1109 (N21W39)
produced several B-class events. Region 1109 has decreased in areal
coverage and extent and is now a Dhi group with a beta magnetic
configuration. Region 1110 (N19W60) has also decreased in areal
coverage and is now a Bxo group with a beta magnetic configuration.
Region 1111 (N24E42) is an A-type group with one spot.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low
with C-class activity likely.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 29-2100Z to 30-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet during the past 24 hours.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet for days one and two (01-02 October). Mostly
quiet with a slight chance for isolated unsettled periods are
expected for day three (03 October) due to recurrent activity.
