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 269 Issued at 2200Z on 25 Sep 2012IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z Solar activity was low. The largest flare of the
period was a C4 flare at 25/1753Z from Region 1580 (N17E67). New
Region 1581 (N22E03) was numbered today. No Earth-directed CMEs
were observed.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to continue
at low levels with a slight chance for M-class flares.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to continue at mostly quiet conditions. There is a slight
chance for a greater than 10 MeV proton event from active regions
rotating around the southeast limb.
