Geophysical 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.

None.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field reached
major storm levels during the 17/1500-1800 UTC synoptic period, due
to the continued influence of a CME.
