Solar Forecasts, Reports, and other data from NOAA/SWPC

NOAA/SWPC's TODAY'S SPACE WEATHER page has a full disk H-alpha image, 3-day plots of GOES soft x-ray and particle fluxes and magnetic indices. NOAA/SWPC's Anonymous FTP Server has both older and current reports: e.g. Solar Region Reports or the Latest Solar Geophysical Data.

The following links lead one directly to the latest Solar and Geophysical FORECAST, ACTIVITY SUMMARY, solar REGION REPORT, solar EVENT LISTINGS, three day geomagnetic and FLARE PROBABILITIES by region, and ALERTS.
