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 was quiet to
active. Isolated active periods were observed during local nighttime
hours at all latitudes. The high speed coronal hole stream
responsible for the disturbed periods over the past few days has
gradually declined to near normal levels.
D. Stratwarm
None

F. Comments
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels again today.
