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 253 Issued at 2200Z on 10 Sep 2017IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z Solar activity has been at high levels for the past 24 hours.
The largest solar event of the period was a X8 event observed at
10/1606Z from old Region 2673 (S09, L=119). There are currently 3
numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be moderate
with a chance for X-class flares on day one (11 Sep) 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 two (12 Sep) and expected to be very low with a
slight chance for a C-class flare on day three (13 Sep).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 09-2100Z to 10-2100Z
The geomagnetic
field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Solar
wind speed reached a peak of 560 km/s at 10/1015Z. Total IMF reached 6
nT at 10/1935Z. The maximum southward component of Bz reached -4 nT at
10/2020Z. Protons greater than 10 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a
peak level of 1038 pfu at 10/1845Z. Protons greater than 100 MeV at
geosynchronous orbit reached a peak level of 54 pfu at 10/2100Z.
Electrons greater than 2 MeV at geosynchronous orbit reached a peak
level of 7875 pfu.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at quiet to unsettled levels on day one (11 Sep), quiet to active
levels on day two (12 Sep) and unsettled to minor storm levels on day
three (13 Sep). Protons are expected to cross threshold on day one (11
Sep), are expected to cross threshold on day two (12 Sep) and are likely
to cross threshold on day three (13 Sep).
