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 205 Issued at 2200Z on 24 Jul 2010

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z

Solar activity was very low. Isolated low-level B-class flares were detected. Region 1089 (S23E06) continued to gradually decay and simplify. New Region 1090 (N23E58), a single-spot A-type group, was numbered late in the period.
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 23-2100Z to 24-2100Z
Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet to (briefly) unsettled levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at mostly quiet levels during days 1 - 2 (25 - 26 July). Activity is forecast to increase to unsettled to active levels on day 3 (27 July) due to the expected arrival of a recurrent coronal hole high-speed wind stream.
