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 ranged from
quiet to minor storm levels. An isolated period of minor storming
occurred between 19/0000 and 0300 UTC. This elevated conditions
were most likely due to a sustained southward Bz and a slight
increase in the solar wind speeds to approximately 460 km/s.
