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 204 Issued at 2200Z on 23 Jul 2010IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 22-2100Z to 23-2100Z Solar activity was very low. Todays activity consisted
of a few B-class flares, including a B9 at 2138Z and a B9 at 1523Z,
both from Region 1089 (S24E20). Region 1089 continues to slowly
decay and simplify.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low. However, there is a chance for an isolated C-class flare from
Region 1089.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 22-2100Z to 23-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet. Solar wind data from the ACE
spacecraft indicate elevated density during the last 4 hours of the
period, consistent with a co-rotating interaction region.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be unsettled for the first day (24 July) in response to
a favorably positioned coronal hole. Quiet to unsettled levels are
expected for the 2nd and 3rd days (25-26 July) due to persistent
effects from the coronal hole.
