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.

C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was
predominantly at quiet to unsettled levels. Brief active conditions
were observed at both the middle and high latitudes in the
20/1200-1500 UTC period. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux at
geosynchronous orbit passed the 10 pfu threshold at 19/2225 UTC,
reached a maximum of 11 pfu at 19/2235 UTC. The short lived 10 MeV
proton event ended at 19/2255 UTC though flux levels remained
elevated at time of bulletin issue.
