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 268 Issued at 2200Z on 24 Sep 2012IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z Solar activity was low. A C1 flare occurred at
24/1542Z from new Region 1578 (N21E10). Another C1 flare occurred
at 24/1931Z from an unnumbered region currently rotating onto the
northeast limb. Another new region rotated onto the southeast limb
and was numbered Region 1579 (S09E70). No Earth-directed CMEs were
observed during the reporting period.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low
with a slight chance for M-class flares.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be mostly quiet on days 1-3 (25-27 September). On days
2-3 (26-27 September), the greater than 10 MeV proton probability
increases to a slight chance due to potential activity from active
regions rotating around the southeast limb.
