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 182 Issued at 2200Z on 01 JUL 1998IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 30-2100Z to 01-2100Z SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS LOW. REGION 8253 (N18W43) PRODUCED
TWO C-CLASS FLARES: A C1/SF AT 30/2301Z, AND A C6/SF AT 01/1840Z
WITH A TYPE II SWEEP AND MODERATE DECAMETRIC BURSTS INCLUDING 110
SFU AT 2695 MHZ. AN OPTICALLY UNCORRELATED TYPE II ALSO OCCURRED
WITH A C1 FLARE AT 01/1020Z. REGION 8259 (N27E25) PRODUCED A C1/SF
AT 01/0009Z. THIS REGION EXHIBITED SOME GROWTH AND DEVELOPED
MODERATE MAGNETIC COMPLEXITY. REGION 8256 (S23W08) PRODUCED A C3/1F
AT 01/1814Z WITH A DISAPPEARING FILAMENT. THE REMAINING FIVE REGIONS
WERE MOSTLY STABLE.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN
LOW. SEVERAL OF THE EXISTING REGIONS ARE CAPABLE OF C-CLASS ACTIVITY
WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF AN M-CLASS FLARE.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 30-2100Z to 01-2100Z
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS QUIET,
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS
EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED.
