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 123 Issued at 2200Z on 03 May 2007IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z Solar activity was low. Region 953 (S11W30) produced a
C8.5 flare at 02/2348Z.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low with a slight chance for an isolated M-class flare from
Region 953.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 02-2100Z to 03-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet. The greater than 2 MeV electron
flux at geosynchronous orbit remained at high levels today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be mostly quiet on 04-05 May. Expect quiet to unsettled
levels with isolated active periods on 06 May as a recurrent coronal
hole rotates into a geoeffective position.
