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 163 Issued at 2200Z on 12 JUN 1998IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 11-2100Z to 12-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. REGION 8240 (S24W82) PRODUCED
MOST OF TODAY'S OCCASIONAL C-CLASS EVENTS. THIS REGION SHOWED BRIGHT
H-ALPHA PLAGE AND SOME INDICATIONS OF GROWTH DURING THE PAST 24
HOURS. NEW REGION 8243 (N18E75) ROTATED PARTIALLY INTO VIEW TODAY AS
A SINGLE SPOT WITH PENUMBRA.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW.
THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE, HOWEVER, FOR AN ISOLATED M-CLASS EVENT
FROM REGION 8240 OR 8243.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 11-2100Z to 12-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A BRIEF
SUBSTORM PERIOD FROM 04-06Z. THE ENHANCED ACTIVITY FROM 04-06Z
RESULTED IN ACTIVE LEVELS AT MID-LATITUDE AND MINOR STORM LEVELS AT
HIGH LATITUDES.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS
EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS.
