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 152 Issued at 2200Z on 31 May 2012IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 30-2100Z to 31-2100Z Solar activity was low during the past 24 hours. New
Regions 1493 (N15E64) and 1494 (S16E69) were numbered overnight and
have each produced several low-level C-class x-ray events. New
Region 1495 (S12E19) was also numbered today but has not produced
any flare activity as of yet. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed
during the period.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low
for the next three days (01 - 03 June).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 30-2100Z to 31-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet during the past 24 hours.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be mostly quiet on days one and two (01 - 02 June).
Quiet to unsettled conditions with a chance for isolated active
periods are expected late on day three (03 June) due to the
anticipated arrival of a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream.
