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 151 Issued at 2200Z on 31 May 2005

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 30-2100Z to 31-2100Z

Solar activity was low. Region 770 (N12W27), a seemingly simple spot group, had the one C-class flare of the day. It produced a C2/Sf at 1442UTC with associated type II sweep. It has been quiet since that event. One new region, Region 772 (S18E50) was numbered, making a total of five spotted regions visible.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to persist at the low level.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 30-2100Z to 31-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was unsettled to active. Yesterday's storm conditions have passed and the field has returned to more normal conditions. Energetic electrons at geosynchronous orbit attained high levels during the past 24 hours.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be generally unsettled. There is a slight chance of a small disturbance later in the period from a possible CME associated with the C2/Sf with type II that occurred today.
