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 179 Issued at 2200Z on 28 Jun 2006IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 27-2100Z to 28-2100Z Solar activity was very low. Newly numbered region 898
(S06E66) produced a B5 flare at 28/1932 UTC. Region 897 (N05E29)
has grown to approximately 110 millionths.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 27-2100Z to 28-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to minor storm levels. Over the
past 24 hours, solar wind speed increased to approximately 575 km/s
due to the coronal hole high speed stream while Bz varied between
+/- 10 nT.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to active on 29 June, with mostly quiet
conditions expected on 30 June to 01 July.
