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 134 Issued at 2200Z on 14 May 2019IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z Solar activity has been at very low levels for the past 24
hours. There are currently 2 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very low
with a slight chance for a C-class flare on days one and two (15 May, 16
May) and expected to be very low on day three (17 May).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 13-2100Z to 14-2100Z

The geomagnetic field is expected
to be at unsettled to minor storm levels on day one (15 May), unsettled
to major storm levels on day two (16 May) and quiet to minor storm
levels on day three (17 May).
