2. FORECAST (07 AUGUST - 09 AUGUST)
Date   T index  Conditions       MUFs                              
07 Aug    80    Normal           0 to 10% above predicted monthly 
                                 values
08 Aug    85    Normal           0 to 10% below predicted monthly 
                                 values    
09 Aug    80    Normal           Near predicted monthly values   

COMMENT: HF conditions were Normal 06-Aug, with MUFs mostly near 
or above predicted monthly values at mid-latitudes, more variable 
at low-latitudes and enhanced at high latitudes. The T index 
is higher than the predicted monthly value due to a large number 
of smaller sunspots emitting ionising EUV. Expect mostly Normal 
to slightly enhanced MUF conditions for the 07 Aug. On 8 Aug 
a CME should strike a glancing blow causing Unsettled-Active 
geomagnetic conditions, which should slightly depress MUFs, with 
recovery on the 9th.
