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.

SDF Number 144 Issued at 2200Z on 24 May 2011IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z Solar activity was very low. The two spotted regions
on the visible disk were magnetically simple and quiescent.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to remain
very low for the forecast period (25 - 27 May).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z
The goemagnetic field was predominantly quiet, with one unsettled
period early in the day.
