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.

Stratwarm alert exists Thursday.
As a result of the major warming, the circulation in the lower
stratosphere remains disturbed. Reversed temperature gradient
between 60N and the pole in the lower and middle stratosphere.
