2. FORECAST (01 SEPTEMBER - 03 SEPTEMBER)
Date   T index  Conditions       MUFs                              
01 Sep    85    Normal           Near predicted monthly values
02 Sep    85    Normal           Near predicted monthly values    
03 Sep    70    Normal           Near predicted monthly values   

COMMENT: MUFs are at near predicted values across Australia with 
enhanced MUFs in equatorial regions. These conditions are expected 
to persist for the next 2 days. On day 3 (3rd Sep UT) geomagnetic 
activity is expected to cause some reduction in MUFs, particularly 
at southern latitudes. On present analysis this activity is expected 
to be relatively mild and hence any depressed periods are expected 
to be isolated and mild (15% depressed at most).
