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 143 Issued at 2200Z on 23 May 2011IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 22-2100Z to 23-2100Z Solar activity was very low. The three spotted regions
on the disk are small and magnetically simple.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to remain
very low for the next three days (23 - 25 May).
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 22-2100Z to 23-2100Z
The geomagnetic field was quiet.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet on Days 1 and 2 (23-24 May), becoming quiet to
unsettled with the approach of a recurrent coronal hole high speed
stream on Day 3 (25 May).
