2. FORECAST (03 APRIL - 05 APRIL)
Date   T index  Conditions       MUFs                              
03 Apr    80    Normal           Near predicted monthly values
04 Apr    80    Normal           Near predicted monthly values    
05 Apr    70    Normal           Near predicted monthly values   

COMMENT: HF conditions in the Australian region were mostly near 
predicted monthly values. Southerly site MUFs were a little depressed 
due to high latitude geomagnetic activity and northern near equatorial 
sites were more variable than the centre of the region. MUFs 
are expected to remain mostly near predicted monthly values for 
3-4th April. Some slight depression of MUFs possible on 5 April 
if a weak CME causes a geomagnetic disturbance.
