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 343 Issued at 2200Z on 09 Dec 2007IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 08-2100Z to 09-2100Z Solar activity was very low. Region 978 (S09E26)
produced a B9.4 flare during this perioed.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to range
from very low to low. C-class activity is likely from region 978.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 08-2100Z to 09-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field activity
level will increase from quiet to unsettled early on day 2 as a
recurrent coronal hole becomes geoeffective. There is a slight
chance of isolated active periods at high latitudes.
