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 301 Issued at 2200Z on 28 Oct 2010IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 27-2100Z to 28-2100Z Solar activity was very low during the past 24 hours.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low with a slight chance for an M-class event from Region
1117 (N22W41).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 27-2100Z to 28-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet. The greater than 2 MeV electron
flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels during the period.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet on day 1 (29 Oct). Quiet to unsettled
conditions are expected on day 2 (30 Oct) due to a weak CME observed
on 26 October. Quiet conditions are expected to return on day 3 (31
Oct).
