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 175 Issued at 2200Z on 24 Jun 2013IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours.
The largest solar event of the period was a C9 event observed at
24/1132Z from Region 1778 (S16E49). There are currently 6 numbered
sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low with
a chance for isolated M-class flares on day one (25 Jun) and expected to
be low with a slight chance for an M-class flare on day two (26 Jun) and
likely to be low with a slight chance for an M-class flare on day three
(27 Jun).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z
The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet to active levels for the past 24 hours. Solar
wind speed, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, reached a peak speed of
618 km/s at 24/1112Z. Total IMF reached 6 nT at 23/2107Z. The maximum
southward component of Bz reached -5 nT at 23/2115Z. Protons greater
than 10 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 14 pfu at
24/0520Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a
peak level of 10700 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to unsettled levels on days one and two (25 Jun, 26 Jun)
and quiet to active levels on day three (27 Jun). Protons have a chance
of crossing threshold on day one (25 Jun), have a slight chance of
crossing threshold on day two and three (26-27 Jun).
