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 142 Issued at 2200Z on 22 May 2011IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 21-2100Z to 22-2100Z Solar activity was very low. All spotted regions on
the visible disk were small, magnetically simple and generally
quiescent. New Region 1220 (N14W65) emerged today as a small
bipolar group.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low for the next three days (23-25 May) with a slight chance for a
C-class event on day one (23 May).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 21-2100Z to 22-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to remain predominantly quiet for the next three days.
