SUMMARY FOR 26 JUNE AND FORECAST FOR 27 JUNE - 29 JUNE
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:** YELLOW **     ION: GREEN
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 26 Jun:  Low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 26 Jun: 107/57


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             27 Jun             28 Jun             29 Jun
Activity     Low                Low                Low

10.7cm/SSN   100/48             105/54             105/54

COMMENT: Two, low level, C flares from regions on the west limb. 
No likely geo-effective CMEs observed. ACE data show the solar 
wind north-south IMF component quiet and wind speed decreasing 
from 500 to 400 km/s over the reporting period. Only a slight 
chance of moderate activity for the next three days. Effects 
from the coronal hole and 23 Jun CME are likely to occur late 
27 Jun to 28 Jun.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 26 Jun : 
      Darwin               0   (Quiet)
      Townsville           0   (Quiet)

      Gingin               0   (Quiet)
      Canberra             0   (Quiet)

Pc3 pulsations are high frequency (10-45 second period) variations 
of the Earths magnetic field. Daily pc3-indices are the daily sum 
of 20 minute pc3-indices for that station and have been shown to be
well correlated with rejection of high resolution aeromagnetic
survey flight-line data. 

NOTE: Indices may have been generated from data obtained in 
cooperation with the following organisations: Geoscience Australia, 
University of Newcastle Space Physics Group, Australian Government 
Antarctic Division and International Center for Space Weather 
Science and Education, Japan.
