2. FORECAST (06 AUGUST - 08 AUGUST)
Date   T index  Conditions       MUFs                              
06 Aug   115    Normal           near predicted monthly values

                                 values. Isolated periods of 
                                 minor depressions possible in 
                                 Southern Australian regions.

                                 values. Isolated periods of 
                                 minor depressions possible in 
                                 Southern Australian regions.    
COMMENT: Periods of minor degradations may be observed in the 
southern Australian regions during 7-8 August as the geo-magnetic 
activity is expected to show slight increase as a coronal hole 
is taking geo-effective position. Short wave fadeouts may be 
observed during the next 3 days as a flare producing region 30 
is returning to the front side of the disk.
