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 153 Issued at 2200Z on 01 Jun 2012IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 31-2100Z to 01-2100Z Solar activity was low. C-class flares were observed
from both Region 1493 (N14E49) and newly numbered Region 1498
(N07E69). The largest flare was a C2/1F at 01/1710Z from Region
1498, a Cso type group with a beta magnetic configuration. Region
1493 was the largest region on the disk, occupying 170 millionths
and classified as a Dho type group with a beta magnetic
configuration. New Regions 1496 (N16E59) and 1497 (S22E34) were
also numbered yesterday.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to remain
low with a slight chance for an M-class event for the next three
days (02-04 June).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 31-2100Z to 01-2100Z
The geomagnetic field ranged from quiet to unsettled levels. A solar
sector boundary change, from positive to negative, was observed at
the ACE spacecraft between 01/01Z and 03Z. Solar wind speed was
around 350 km/s.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to begin at quiet levels on day 1 (2 June). An increase to
unsettled to active levels is expected on days 2 and 3 (3-4 June)
with the arrival of a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream. The
coronal hole high speed stream will also bring a slight chance for
isolated minor storm conditions.
