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 176 Issued at 2200Z on 25 Jun 2013

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z

Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24 hours. There are currently 6 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low with a slight chance for an M-class flare on day one (26 Jun) and likely to be low with a slight chance for an M-class flare on day two (27 Jun) and expected to be very low with a chance for a C-class flares and a slight chance for an M-class flare on day three (28 Jun).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 24-2100Z to 25-2100Z
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar wind speed, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, reached a peak speed of 590 km/s at 25/0812Z. Total IMF reached 5 nT at 24/2130Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -4 nT at 24/2147Z. Protons greater than 10 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 2 pfu at 24/2300Z. Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 17149 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on day one (26 Jun) and unsettled to active levels with a chance for minor storm levels on days two and three (27 Jun, 28 Jun).
